Multipunctatus x Petricola Hybrid ?

[zenins]

What do you think ?

Is this a multipunctatus x Petricola hybrid ?


I have my doubts.
Neither have yellow in the body.
Those catfish species have very different spawning techniques, and the multipunctatus are 3 to 4 times the size of petricolas. Their eyes are very different as well ...

Any suggestions of what it might be ?

Thanks

I think it's a schoutedeni×multipunctatus/petricola hybrid.

The spawning behavior of the parent speces should not matter, as these hybrids tend to be artificially produced.

I am with HH on both counts.

Schoutedeni x multipunctata/grandiops is a strong possibility as opposed to Schoutedeni x Petricola/Lucipinnis. Just the look of the fish & seeing it moving says 'multi' & the patterning is very much follwing a schoutedeni.

Is there anything specific you wanted to know? With hybrids answering questions can be tricky as without knowing definately who the parents are sometimes some factors are guesswork, like size for example, other factors like feeding are easier
