Risky? RTxTSN with a TSN

[waynes world]

Hi all, i have ben looking for a TSN for a while now, not many about nowadays for some reason in my area or the size i want, all to big realy but i have found a LFD that can get me one, thing is it will be around 4 inch and i have a TSNxRT which is now about 8 inch.

What are the chances of the hybrid eating the TSN, the hybrid is well fed and lives with some 2.5 inch silver dollars plus other fish its same size and doesnt bother them at all, but he has grown with them all from being 2 inch and the rest alos apart from the silver aro which was 5 inch and now 7 inch.

If you think its to risky of being eaten then i will keep my search on for a TSN the same size.

Thanks all

Definitely. The hybrid will grow a lot faster than the TSN, so that right now it might be twice its size, but in a couple of months it'll be 3-4 times its size. Too risky, IMO, unless they're both about the same size and the hybrid has stopped its explosive juvenile growth.

My 6-8" rtcxtsn hybrid lives with a 24" tsn with no problems. But it's in my 1500 so that def helps with aggression

I am getting one the same size as my hybrid, to be safe.
