I don't see an RTC in this fish. I am pretty sure it is TSN (mother) x achara (father), the usual hybrid - we get culls from them being farmed for food in South America.

Compare with pictures in this thread where I've been depositing relevant links: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/...could-it-be-p-corruscans.564171/#post-6726748


RTCxachara are very rare and not a particularly viable hybrid, hence, they are not used in farming. We only get them in our trade from some farm lab experiments once or twice in 5-10 years.

I thought you had said you checked out of the hobby because of the college?

The one in the back is achara (mother) x RTC (father). Right? Or is it the far more common TSNxRTC?

The front is TSNxachara.

Sorry, for clarity the cat in the back - is it achara x RTC or TSN x RTC?

I am pretty sure it's the former but wanted to leave no doubt in your answer.
