Anyone have experience with hybrid pbt's or hybrid achilles? An LFS said that they by July they MIGHT have a shipment of both. I like the hybrid pbt's over the regular ones. PBT's here are around 50 USD (converted), while hybrids are around 80 USD. Achilles here are around 200 USD (and they come here not eating, the LFS would want to release them immediately, so I have to train them to eat myself), while hybrids are 90 USD to 110 USD. For both hybrids, the seller would actually train them to eat before selling them, and would leave the quarantine procedure to me. Next question would be, which is more worth it?
 
Questions will be are you comfortable of trying to get a fish to eat and are you patient enough and are great at keeping up with the water parameters. They are going to need extremely good water parameters just like the regular ones. Any stress can lead to death. If you are getting one trying to eat you have to be on top of parameters especially with the possibility of uneaten food laying on the bottom of the tank.
