I have seen many Cali horns in the 3 ft range. Do realize that growth rates of sharks are accelerated in the captive setting. The will often reach the size of maturity quicker than the wild counterpart, though that doesn't necessarily mean that they will be sexually mature at that size.

Edit. I can't believe that our genus is blocked and replaced with **** when typing it. How pathetic. Another great example of the absurdity of political correctness.

I understand what your saying, lower temps help slow growth rates to a point too correct? When I first read your post with the **** I was at a loss for what was suppose to be there then I read further and realized it does the same things with other words that they don't want you to say on here. Matt thanks for the info on the book now I have to figure out how to navigate MFK and start reading...
