If you could make a hybrid...

Any 2 fish or inverts. Related or not. If it was possible, what would you make a hybrid out of and which traits of each would you want. Ethics don't matter. Ik some could be unethical to ACTUALLY produce. 

 

I'm thinking something like a rainbow mixed with a lionfish and have just a million unneeded fins for absolute no reason.

Red-tail shark x panda Cory = Panda Shark!

Oscar + Betta  = Beskar

“This is the way!”

 Nice touch on the name. I can't wait for Mando season 3!

 

Personally, I would like a hybrid between a  Longfin Bristlenose X L333 Hypancistrus pleco. I would like the ease of breeding and care of BN (with the long fins), with the coloration of the King Tiger.

A second hybrid I would like would be a Hillstream Loach x Freshwater Stingray x Elassoma Sunfish. The small size (and of course, care requirements) of a Hillstream Loach, the tail and shape of a Stingray, and the Coloration of the pygmy sunfish.

That's awesome to know. I do know there were a few. I think bamboo sharks are ridiculously awesome and a good size and fit for a tank. 🙂

Definitely will check it out. There's a ton of shark species and I had heard about some freshwater ones, but completely slipped the name.

Update. Max size is pretty big (80 inches) and they are severely endangered.

I would LOVE a nano archerfish, perhaps hybridised with a koi medaka ricefish for color and cold tolerance.

another cool one would be bioluminescent freshwater fish, like a small tetra that had some small part light up like a fire fly

Clown loach + pygmy cory. A clown loach that never gets over 1 1/2” in length. Then I could have a huge school of them!😬

My powdered blue gourami needs to be trained to do that!

OMG, that second video!  “I kill you giant finger!  I eat you!  I hungry!”  😆 😂 🤣  All the attitude and ambition you could ever ask for in a tiny, colorful, sparkly body that can shoot you right out of the sky if it just tries hard enough! 🤣 ❤️ 😘 💕

Tempting to get one, but I know the statistics about the Dwarf Gourami Disease...

I think it may be all gouramis that can shoot water

I'd want glofish versions of all my favorite nano fish... Boraras species rasboras,  peapuffers, pygmy corydoras, pygmy sunfish, kuhli loaches, and clown killifish. I have a glofish betta and they are really beautiful in heavily planted tanks. 

I’d like glo fish if it was markings (like the blue on neon tetras glowed) I’m just not a fan of the company they just seem shady

Yeah, but most of the large scale fish trade is pretty gnarly. I don't want to get into the ethics of glofish since this is just fantasy.

i would think putting a nano fish with a monster fish would be sorta funny, like a endler guppy with a sturgeon, woudl the sturgeon have a transparent like tail? or would the guppy be oversized with a long snout? i dont know lol
