RTC tiger shovelnose cross

[necrocanis]

Those are definitely not planiceps look on planetcatfish.com or fishbase. They are too stocky to be planiceps and their head is not elongate enough.

dude that f@#kin nut's .. the only way to settal the issue is to take a 6month fishin trip to the amazon and see if there realy is a subspecie of cat that has rtc & tsn DNA . kinda how cichlid's branched off from one another to adapt to differant localtion's . myself I belive it's a hybrid made perposily or not ... beutiful fish though ...............

these guys are definitely test tube babies some have more of the shovelnose look and some have more of the rtc look

dude were did you here they were breed for the food trade???

i believe they eat captive bred red-tail catfish some where in Asia.
not hybrids though...
also they like to eat snakeheads in Taiwan was it??.

this picture is my friend's feeder tank...he feeds snakeheads to his pirarucu, arowana, redtail catfish, tiger shovelnose catfish, his turtle also.
he upgraded to a big-a*s tank!

the turle is constantly being stalked by the red-tail catfish...when the catfish is hungry it actually swallows the turtle but spits out the tramautised but otherwise unhurt turtle back out!

 

[kentobizmol]

it's a medium-sized pirarucu, getting bigger!

and no... red tail cats are not edible as they produce a toxin in their flesh.

 

[kentobizmol]
