Mine's now 33-34". He regurgitates when you overfeed him. I usually feed him about 2-4 pounds of shrimp and fresh fish per week.
I have always loved the RTC but these hybrids are amazing. So beautiful and stunning!!!
I am realistic and know I could never give one a proper home so I drool over others LOL Unless someday I marry a man that is as much into fish as I am and will turn a basement into a large pond LOL I stick to my smaller pictus cats.
Curiosity here...
Are these hybrids tame like many RTC are known to be? Or are they a bit more aggressive? I am not sure how aggressive tsn are or if they are more aggressive or if they like affection like RTC are known to.
I would really like if any of you with these hybrids could upload some videos to youtube or something.
It is rare to find vids of them. I would love to see them in action.

I hardly ever see him picking on n e one. (I've seen him hit my tsn every now and then over a hiding spot) Other then that he's really chill but a def glutton!!!

Mine is becoming really aggressive after being alone for several months. I put my planiceps in with him and he ripped half it's tail off. He's claimed the whole pond as his territory. He was fine when he lived with 2 different hybrids, and a huge pleco. They all died due to several crappy moves over a few months, and now he's alone until I get my mega tank built. Mine is really tame and lets me pet him and feed him by hand like a rtc, but every now and then he gets a little spooked like a tsn. I guess it depends on how good of a day he's havin. I would love to put up some vids, but I don't have a video camera so until I can bribe someone that's a no go. lol. I'd love to have a video of me feeding him some huge pompano whole.
That is normal and maybe just a little fast. Depends on what size it is already. If it is less than 6" that is normal over 10" and doing that much in one month is fast. Go over 20" and you'll be lucky to see an inch per month.
