ming- rember my crossed cats post, where i was asking if they grew faster then parents

Size: Not known, but adult Red tails commonly hit 90cm/36" or more, and Tiger shovelnoses can get just as big. Some hybrids grow quicker and larger than either parent (something called hybrid vigour), so these are going to be monster catfish...

yes, and it says "Not known" simply because there isn't any that is bigger than the parents of this hybrid. and only certain hybrid develope that vigour.

I'm not arguing whether they do grow bigger than it's parents or not, just that you can't say they do, while having no proof.

Well first they put a male and female in the a tank by themselves, then they play soft music for hours and provide them room service. hopefully she gave in and they breed. Mostly they do it them selves he has and outy and she has a inny. Anyhting else you need!!!!!!!
