And sad to say, some aquariums aren't great examples of shark husbandry.
Thanks for the reply Zoodiver. Yeah needless to say I wasn't impressed nor did I think what I witnessed with the port Jackson was representative of something that should be duplicated. As far as the Cali horn sharks go its good to hear they for the most part don't get over 3.5ft.
