L010a?breeding size?

Post by hotplecogirl »

I bought these at a super tiny size.I have 5 total and there are three brownish ones and two red ones.Is this just a color variant or are females brown,male red?What size do these breed at.My guys are 3-4 inches now and a few look very fat.I was surprised how fast they grew.

Hi,

these two are certainly hybrids. See here for some additional information (http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworl ... rd+Catfish), if you haven´t already read it.

Cheers, Sandor

They look a lot like the ones I have. They stay quite small. The males develop a nice beard.
