:This fish has been hybridised with the [[Tiger Shovelnose Catfish]], these will grow even larger than both parents at {{in|60}} or larger. The markings will appear similar to the red tailed cat, but have speckled or blotchy flanks and the nose will be longer, like that of a Shovelnose. | :This fish has been hybridised with the [[Tiger Shovelnose Catfish]], these will grow even larger than both parents at {{in|60}} or larger.
