Out Back In The Woods!
Looking for the other species of RTC & TSN Hybrids have RTC X TSN hybrids But want RTC X Marble, TSN X Marble,TSN X NIGER, TSN x FIREWOOD cant seem to find them anywhere have run out of leads in my state have check almost all the petstore no one can order any of them... my name has been on the list out in So Cal for these hybrids for 2 yrs now no reply... check wholesellers sunpet, segrest farms not one has had them in a while... do they even exist anymore???? does any know where i can find these Hybrids???? will to pay very good for these fish up to $300 per fish depending on size... Some one please point me in the right direction for these fish...
 
TSN X Marble: TSNxLeiarius marmoratus is rather common around but not many sellers even know it. I've seen John Kreatsoulas (snookn21) brings some in but he calls them something else... don't remember what. I have never seen or kept a baby but rescued several sub-adults and adults and seen more of such at pet stores.

TSN X NIGER: I have seen only three specimen in all my dealings and even those only on photos. Never seen one live. I am guessing they are quite rare.

TSN x FIREWOOD: if you mean TSNxSorubimichthys planiceps, then I am not aware of even an existence of such a hybrid. Does not mean they do not exist, just means that these must be even rarer than the previous category.

RTC X Marble: I have seen only two specimen and those only on photos. Must be very rare.

These are all made for food in SA and very slowly have been making way into ornamental fish trade. RTCxTSN hybrid has been in existence for many decades as food before recently becoming so common in our hobby. I think 5 years ago, there were far fewer of them around and 10 years ago almost no one had them.
