He's beautiful. Do you have pics of the back half? I'm curious to see the affects of the rtc in the marbles caudal fin and peduncle.necrocanis;1727068; said:

your wish is my command. Tell me what you are looking for. I study catfish anatomy part time and hopefully full time one day. I have some pics of some of the strange effects of hybridization in the skeleton of my late tsn x marble skeleton. Tons of fused vertebrae, and the penduncile is crazy as all get out. I can only imagine once I get to the TSN x blochii, lol. I do have to say that rtc x marble favors the marble catfish physically, very heavily, but it's apetite, and attitude are very much rtc like. One could very easily pick up this hybrid thinking it was a full marble if you didn't know what you were looking for. I've included a comparison I did a while back. also one of a rtc x tsn hybrid.KenyanSandBoa;1727218; said:
Is that a hybrid? Looks like a really jacked up clarius to me. Some severe curvature of the spine going on there!
He's about the size my big guy was when i got him. Mine was 22" already when i got him. Got any pics of when he was little. I love to see comparison growth shots. It always amazes me how much catfish change from itty bitty, to huge and bluberry!!
cute. I've been thinking of getting a baby rtc x tsn hybrid since I didn't get to see the big boy grow out from a baby. Catfish are better in pairs anyways lol. Could get that another rtc, and a marble and have my self a growout race. I have enough TSNs as it is, but need a marble, and maybe one more rtc lol.
