Red Tail Black Shark Hybrid

[Gaz_S]

Found some more information about these today they are RTBS X Flying Fox! Decided to buy one and see the adult result. Not the best pic but a more noticible white tip which apparently stays, apparently the tempremant is better than a RTBS and the black line down the middle.

Was it expensive?

£3.95 so not really Very small at the moment about an inch. There were some rainbows aswel same again but obv red fins.

Thats just a baby RTB shark, the white strip and tips fade as they age

Its not, if i had a decent camera you would be able to tell the difference.

 

[walkers101]

can tell the difference by the black stripe near the tail

 

[Gaz_S]

If i did have a good camera it would easily be noticed how different it is from the standard RT. Ill keep updating as it grows.

Looks like a hybrid to me - the pattern on the tail and the faint line down the middle of the body....

I think it's not a normal RTB Shark.

The fins look a slightly different shape (especially the forward ones) and the colouration is much different.

I can't decide lol
It does look like a young RTBS BUT it has some patterns similar to the Flying Fox, plus there is a black band in the tail which you don't find on RTBS/Rainbow Sharks.

nothing unusual here, just a white tipped RTBS. and, as some have said, a juvenile.
