Janna![]() ![]() Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003 ![]() | What kind of shark was it, exactly? There are a bunch of sharks that get HUGE, like a couple feet or more. They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces. |

I think you should get the shark. It sounds pretty cool and a bit different. Last edited by PJ at 23-Dec-2004 18:21 |

I think it is what they call a 7 Gill Shark & people do swim with these at the Melbourne Aqu.

ACIDRAIN![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002 ![]() | Keith, by swim do you mean SCUBA dive? It is my understanding that those sharks are cold water sharks. How long have they had her, that she is still swimming into things, nose first. That looks like a nasty injury on her nose. And yes all, it is a female, lol. How is it doing? As I know that there are only a few in captivity. There is always a bigger fish... |

Yes they are cold water sharks. They do Scuba dive with them at a $$$ cost. You could try to contact them re those Quesions as I would not even try answer them Keith ![]() ![]() Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

As I know that there are only a few in captivity. Really? I know the Monterey Bay aquarium has "a few" sevengill sharks. They keep whem in the kelp forest tank. Next time I go there I will have to see just how many there are... ![]() I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |
