ok...the cat in the auction looks exactly like my cat. now i'm convinced. argh...so this hybrid can get up to 10 inches? is there anything else known about it? does it prefer groups, will it look the same as an adult, etc...I guess i'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth it to return the catfish.

With it being a hybrid this information is kind of unknown. It may turn out to be very aggressive. Who knows how they will age i haven't ever seen a adult one before.

Are aquabid liable for "deception" charges? 75$ for a hybrid what a con :twisted:

it seems that these hybids are relatively common so i was hoping that someone has raised one without knowing. i searched for the hybrid in the forum but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have experience with it?
