It was for 119 dollar but nobody is interest in shark cause of the size it get so they try to lowering it to 70 to make someone buy it and I know is the shark came from a big warehouse in NYC
If it is a Smoothound Shark at 7" and only $ 70, then my GUESS is that it was collected using the most inhumane method. Females are caught full of pups. The female is killed and pups are pulled out, thats why they are so small. This practice is one of the reason why Leopard Shark under 36" are illegal. Most smoothounds are imported between 10"-12" and wholesale for around $ 150 landed (from legit wholesalers). No way that $70 retail smoothound was collected using legit method
Not sure where you get your info, but you are totally wrong. Most Smoothounds get up to 5' in the wild and 5' in captivity. But if you keep a smoothound in a 220 gallon tank it will only get 24", because IT WILL DIE before reaching his natural and normal growth. I guess I'm looking at a living, breathing FAKE smoothound in my aquarium that is over 24" already in about 2 years time, thats LOL
If you get a baby hound (about 10") you could keep it in a 220 for less then a year. Our 10" hound grew to 14" in a year, and a 24" smoothound shark is far too big for a 220.
When they are small, about 12", you could keep it in a 125 but for a VERY short period of time, may be 6 months. I would never recommend you do this. In about a year they are already over 24", and require a tank at least 4'x4'. Not to be funny but smoothounds need something the size of a small swimming pool for long term care. For a 125g you should look into cat sharks.
dude sweet tank, it yours or at a public play i couldn't really tell. Oh and u say its only 5x5, it seems a lot bigger lol. Anyways , cool tank. Going to buy me two smoothhounds after college.

That is a Guitar Fish. Not really a stingray and not a shark either. I guess its something in between.
