Interestingly enough, It seems the are more newly classified as a few species thought to be separate are actually all one species, the species is rather understudied it seems, but they are really fasinating!
its always sad when a fish is endangered, let alone when we learn that it is before fully understanding them
If you're a marine biologist shouldn't you have already known that? ;Bored;Bookworm
im not, I never said I was
Not necessarily true, an astronomer doesn't know everything about the universe
I learned about that from watching shark week on discovery channel, lol.
I have issues with that show, they can hype up shark fear, which I really don't like. Sharks need more care, they are really important and they are all dying but lots of people are too blinded by fear to care
I actually spent much of my early career working with sharks! I will say that was a rash post, I was getting a little irked about the confusion but it is definitely understandable when the fish are being labeled as sharks. After googling, I have heard of Ganges sharks before. I have a noggin injury right now that is keeping me pretty slow but not sure we have to get into that haha
Geeze, I hope you’re ok. Get well soon!
This is more true than most people realize. It's supposed to "help people realize that sharks aren't as bad as most people think from watching movies", but it usually has the opposite effect on people. (me being one of them)
I believe that’s this threads mic drop momentHate to jump in on such a spirited conversation, but if anyone is truly interested in keeping sharks in an aquarium, might I suggest an online resource:
Shark & Ray Central
A unique forum soley dedicated to the captive keeping of Sharks & Rays in the home aquaria.www.tapatalk.com
Shark and Ray Central. Been around forever, quite informative. Folks that know the answers, and have kept sharks (and rays) in captivity themselves.
For instance, in their shark care profiles section, on the brown banded bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium punctatum), that absolute minimum tank size for a single average sized adult would be a footprint of 50 sq ft. A tank 10' x 5' x 2', or a pond of 8' diameter, a minimum volume of 750 gallons.
Oh, and no, I've not kept any sharks, but I have done some research into what it would take to set up a shark tank. I may one day decide to do so, but if I do, it will be with enough research to give me a reasonable chance of success.
That's bigger than my room!
;Hilarious;Hilarious
Yeah I see the irony here, sorry my b
this thread was cursed by fish satan or somethingThis thread nearly made my head explode. For all the wrong reasons. It definitely needs a "Do Not Read Before Caffeine" tag.
