diffrences

[ltljoker]

Can anyone tell me what is the diffrence between an achillies tang and an achillies hybid :shock: I found it on RC (please dont hate me):mrgreen:
Aquarium Pond Plants Freshwater Aquarium Plants Aquarium Accessories
Go to saltwater animals and the click on achillies. The order form shows a hybride, no pic but you can still order one.

The hybrid is a mix of an achilles tang and a goldrim tang. It has characteristics of both fish.

Divers den has the hybrid every one to two months or so, to me I can never see the difference between them and the normal Achilles.

The hybrids don't have that large orange splotch near the tail that true achilles do.

The hybrids don't have that large orange splotch near the tail that true achilles do.

I'll have to pay mode attention next time, I thought I saw it on the DD ones.

THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY A HYBRID

A photoshoped one.

 

[Bifferwine]

Yep, no orange splotch on the tail.

 

[Bifferwine]

A photoshoped one.

Why is that photoshopped? That looks like all the pics of hybrids I've seen.

I must have only seen juveniles, the ones I've seen have never had an orange spot that large.

I thought this thread was where we were going to discuss out "differences."
Very misleading title #1.

Is there much of a cost difference?
