Do individual RTC X TSN hybrids vary in whether the traits come to look more like a red tailed cat or tiger shovelnose? Does it depend on the clutch or just the individual?????
 
I think it comes down to genetics - some fish are likely to recieve differing amounts of characteristics from either of their parents. I have a RTC x TSN that looks more like a TSN, just with a red tail and a slightly bulkier appearence. However, the other RTC x TSNs that came in the same batch as him looked like spotty/stripey Red-tailed cats with a slightly longer mouth.
 
yeah ive seen some weird ones come otu and then theres those AMAZING looking ones so im sure something is changing in each gene pool
 
like everyone has said it seems to come down to genetics, i currently have the hybrid cat and its color is more of a brownish and has the leopard dots along its sides
 
sometimes mine can be a dark brownish color where the spots arent very visible but at other times hes a light brownish and the spots are very visible
