Bamboo Sharks, Epaullette Sharks, and such are much more common. So admittedly I haven't heard of anyone that has kept these in their home. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Anyway, there are some dogfish species that stay about 10-12", but I've never heard of them being imported for the aquarium trade. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

gartenzwerfe Big Fish Mrs. Racso To Be Posts: 375 Kudos: 628 Votes: 199 Registered: 20-Mar-2004	When racso and I went deep sea fishing in Maine, a dogfish was the only thing I caught (he didn't catch anything ). I really don't see how these could be kept in an aquarium very easily, unless it was AT LEAST a 150g tank and that's if the dogfish was the only fish in there. I personally didn't see anything too special about them that would make them a desirable aquarium addition, but that's just me. ]<]Dani<]<
