Definitely brachyplatystoma either fila, or capapretum. I doubt a hybrid though. These fish are nearly impossible to breed in captivity. They are migratory species that must make the longest migrations of any fresh water fish in the world to spawn.
I am very open minded when it comes to this stuff, but basing a description for a major site identifying catfish species seems a little iffy at best. It may be the best they have come across yet, but since I have found out that lundberg is the one to split the species I am waiting on a reply. I could just fork out the money to access his report myself, but this can get expensive, and I am sure that PC already has this document for their records. If I had the money I would gladly buy up all of the scientific papers on catfish, but that would get expensive at 25-40 bucks a pop. Dr. Lundberg was kind enough to let me view some of his more interesting docs, and I am grateful for that. I am not sure weather or not I have worn out my welcome at this point. I have debated many things catfish with him over the last few years lol. Of course he is almost always right. I am but a mere novice in comparison to soo many years/decades experience directly in the field of catfish. I wish I could convince him to join PC or MFK, but I don't feel he has time for it with all his current projects. I wait patiently lol. I will take a walk over to PC and see what jools has to say though.
Well, people need to learn to accept differences and if they cannot, they need to learn to stay away and mind their own business and let others, who are accepting, have their day in the sun. Of course, it may prove prudent to not provoke some of the "activists" by disclosing how you plan to hybridize lots of catfish. Not because that'd be wrong in your eyes (have to be true to yourself) but because there is such a useful thing as tact and diplomacy.I love planetcatfish, but have not always had the greatest reception there. This is the reason that I rarely post on there. I do search their site and look into the threads, but I may be a little extreme for them I guess lol. Several members on there are quick to judge and not willing to help. I will give it a shot though.
Right. I should have thought of that. You are not a little extreme for many. You are a ticking nuclear bomb that some, I imagine, would think they must disarm asap at all costs
hopefully we will get some things cleared up. As for the hybrids that is years in the future and no mystery to anyone. Hopefully we can learn much from the ones I choose to hybridize. If not it will be a fun endeavor. it may not work at all, but that's the nature of such things. i am liking the fact that one of my sun cats is probably female though. Even after days of not feeding her abdomen is distended. the other has a flat belly until feeding. Possible male and female.
