ever notice.....

[blakeb]

that the mouth size of a channel can greatly vary? i have been noticing this lately, is it just me,.?

And can cats cross breed? and flannel cats out there?

[Gordie]

I dont think so but I did catch a channelhead the other day

As far as I have read there can no cross breed, but if you go by Malcom from Jurassic park " nature will find a way. "

haha filling in missing links in prehistoric reptilian genetic code with that of a frog. Better wise up, those dinos can swap genders like that and produce offspring. Yeah Blake I have seen a few channels that look very similar in color, and head shape as a flathead ... idk though ... who knows? Probably not possible, but probably is not definitely ...

Male channels have a bigger head and mouth than the females.

[blakeb]

kinda the opposite of humans, women got the big mouth

yes they can.

there are blue x channel hybrids that are of interest to catfish farmers because of increased growth rates.

there are also channel x bullhead hybrids and flat x channel hybrids.

Just because something is possible in the fisheries lab doesn't mean it happens in real life though. Even if it did the mixed up chromosome numbers would make them sterile, so you won't see a breeding population of the hybrids.

30-06 is right. The males have a broader head and females have narrower heads. Not sure why it is. My uncle has a fish farm down in Arkansas. Fun times with a seine net and truck tank.
