Thanks Victor.
I finally got settled down in my new place, and upgraded my pond. If I cant get one all well. I love the cats I got.

I would like to get a hold of this hybrid: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... es_id=1949
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

Thanks Jools, Thanks Viktor. Here it is :http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... es_id=4430

Thanks so much for showing the types of habitat associated with tropicals. It really helped me visualize environments I have yet to see.

I want to house one as a pet too now. ill have to wait foe when i own property.

Okay, i should have everything done by friday.

Ya an expert needs to look at them to see exactly what hybrid.
But, in my opinion I think the leiarius x TSN hybrid, is completely different in coloration and has a different body shape than the pimelodus hybrid (Has less of a torpedo shaped body).

Now how do I get this info posted into the Catelog?

That's a beautiful hybrid. I would love to be invovled in the hybrid creation process, it would be awesome to learn the techniques used and the science used.

my tsn x leiarius hybrid and a leiarius pictus taken while they were feeding.

Thanks Viktor. updated version: Scientific Name Pseudoplatystoma sp. hybrid Common Name(s) None Type Locality S.A. Fish Farms Synonym(s) Species Information Size 914.4mm (36") SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. Identification Appears to be a hybrid of Psuedoplatystoma and Leiarius sp ...

Ya, I figured that he wanted me to send it to him but I figure post it in this forum first to see if anyone wanted to add anything / change anything about it because i would like it to be as accurate as we can get it. Ya any pics would be good i was going to get the pic I have of mine cropped so ...

Here's what I ve come up with so far: Cat-eLog Data Sheet Scientific Name Pseudoplatystoma sp. hybrid Common Name(s) None Type Locality No locality. Synonym(s) Species Information Size 900mm (35.43") SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. Identification Appears to be a hybrid of Psuedoplatystoma ...

OK cool thanks, the side pics will have to wait till they are moved again or i get an underwater camera. With the species page for TSN x Marmoratus ill use the same format that pc uses and post it here and info can be verified.

viktor since ya can tell the difference if it is a L.pictus or L.marmoratus hybrid look at the one I got should be a pic of it and two L. pictus within mycats page.

to get a species page for a catfish that is found in the aquarium trade only and is a hybrid between tigershovelnose species and leiarius marmoratus?

Thank you, racoll.

Whats the difference between these two plecos when they're both albino?

(Has anyone seen this one called an albino red spotted high fin pleco)

[Mod edit: use clog tags to make it easier to see what the species is --Mats]

Yah the tsnXleiarius, he is in 100gallon right now with 4 cherry barbs and 4 fathead minnows. Either he is to lazy or truly has no interest in eating other fish. I do know of a leiarius personally that has eaten fish 3/4ths its size.MY main reason for worry. I wouldn't mind an albino one of these ...

Yah, I figured if the Xl catfish out paced them in growth, the plecos would be in a 100 gallon to grow out.

Hopefuly I find leiariu's with the disposition of my leiarius hybrid, who doesn't even try to eat or intimidate 1-2inch fish even though it is 11 inches for now.

Thanks Victo , but I recently found a new lfs near me that has better and rarer stock that they can get in.

So a Rhino or a Royal pleco would be fine with the leiarius's and channel cat? Iam thinking so.

Iam really leaning to the royal panaque, since the rhino pleco is so rare in my town, for a tankmate, also due to their body height and length.

Ictaluras Punctatus-channel cat.

Thanks RedtailRob. I been looking at these Plecos as possible tankmates... http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=151 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=80 Its just that the pure blood Leiarius's and a punctatus would be the fish with the largest mouths ...

Thanks Victor, lucky two pictuses.

THanks victor. Its funny they do the same to salmon here in California, but not to make hybrids, but to farm the species so we don't rely on the wild poulation for salmon. I don't see why these farms in asia and south america would breed the parent species also, due to having to rely on catching ...

Planet catfish needs a page on this cat.
I have one.
Its mouth width is only 20% of its total length fornow, a food hog,and peacefull
I can provide mediocure pics if needed.

How wide and how tall is an adult marmoratus mouth?

Knowing this along with the total body size should help me find suitable tankmates that won't be able to be swallowed or choked down.

Thanks everyone. Roght now I have to post in the other catfish of south america.
