5 Hybrid Fish From Around The World

What is a hybrid fish? A hybrid fish is a fish that is the offspring of two different species of fish. In this video I will be going around the world going through 5 different species of hybrid fish. Some hybrid fish are natural hybrids that occur in the wild without human interaction and some hybrids are man made fish that are created for the aquarium trade.

For our first hybrid fish we will be heading to north America as we have the greengill sunfish. The greengill sunfish is the offspring of both the bluegill and the green sunfish.

Our next hybrid fish was completely created by accident in a lab in Hungary. The researchers in this lab were trying to breed the critically endangered American paddle fish and Russian sturgeon. During this project the researchers accidentally created the sturddlefish hybrid.

For our next hybrid fish we will be heading back to the freshwaters of north America as we have the tiger muskie. The tiger muskie is the offspring of both the northern pike and the muskellunge.

Our next hybrid fish is a completely man made fish that was created for the aquarium trade and it is the flowerhorn cichlid. The flowerhorn cichlid is a very controversial man made fish as many people love them and many people hate them. The flowerhorn cichlid is a mix of a variety of parent fish.

For our final hybrid fish we can head to a variety of locations as we have the tiger trout. The tiger trout is the offspring of both the brown trout and the brook trout.

What's your favourite hybrid fish? let me know in the comments below?
thanks for watching :)
