I have a RTCxTSN hybrid 6 inch How their personality compare to their RTC and TSN
RTCxTSN hybrid like to hunt like a TSN but skittish and RTC like to handfeed , not so skittish at all and like to know about Learn about RTC side , TSN side
This is my first monster catfish ever (thought it was a TSN >.>) I alway wanted to buy a RTC
 
Three years ago, I had one along with 3 RTCs and TSNs. This one fed voraciously like an RTC, but was skittish like the TSN so it never took food from my hand like the RTC did. Might want to be careful thought because the "darty" skittish movements of the TSN combined with the strength of the RTC is definitely a tank-breaker, but luckily I kept mine in a pond.
 
IME, close to an average between the two parents but leaning more towards TSN's behavior.
 
My RTC, TSN, and hybrid all hand feed. The hybrid is probably the least enthusiastic eater of the three and slowest to hand feed, though he will take absolutely anything, as will my RTC. Between meals the hybrid and RTC both actively search for food while the TSN tends to sit and wait until food may be present. My hybrid and RTC both show very little skittishness but occasionally the TSN gets spooked and goes nuts for a few seconds.
 
Found this guy!!! LFS ten dollars! shovel nose hybrid looks like part RTC I hope so these don't come around here ever way excited!!!!

So many big cats, so little time. I'm invested in shovelnose at the moment but still really want a red tail cat. hybrids pop up every now and then here and I might pick one up next time I see one if my others haven't gotten too big by then.
