New RTC x Paroon Hybrid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yes quite. I wasn't too pleased. I already had the arowana taking food as well so it's a disappointment to say the least. The rtc is being kept alone now as a result

And I was not messing around they are very active fish.

I had no idea that an RTC would cross with a Paroon!

So let me get this straight: not only will an RTC EAT anything it comes across, but it's just as likely to F*!# it as well?

Awesome little guy though! Can't wait to see him grow up.

LMAO!...not likely,the hybrids are lab produced.
 
Lol. I must have skipped fish sex-ed in high school. Still though, lots of RTC crosses. Why don't they cross it with something likely to stay under 24"?

Not to derail - still an awesome fish man!

They do not cross them to delight (or disgust) us but to produce food. Ornamental fish trade is just a "by-market" that happened to be...

The fish farm researchers have tried thousands of combinations world wide (intra-family and inter-family) and very few (a few dozen?) of the crossing attempts produced "anything" and out that "anything" perhaps only half a dozen of hybrids are viable.

Before this, inter-family hybridization was thought to be impossible altogether, for any animals IIRC.
