Hey Chris! Good to see what you are up to. The two pics in Cat-eLog are the only two specimen I ever saw (on paper too). They do not seem to be around, perhaps for one of the two reasons: either they have not turned out promising as hybrid food fish in SA or they did and it will take a while for them to creep into the ornamentals trade, just like it took about 10 years or longer for RTCxTSN to become so prevalent.

I have the same feeling about the RTCxO.niger and RTCxPangasius hybrids - been known to exist a while but few ever saw them.

Good luck in any case. You will be able to correct my speculations soon, I am sure... or right away too :)
