Sharks, Skates, and Rays

[alprazo]

This will be dedicated to the keeping of Sharks, Rays and Skate in the home aquarium.

I have 19 years of experience with at least 18 different species of elasmobranches.
In addition I have 30 consecutive years logged with a running saltwater tank and 24 years in reefkeeping.

It will cover:

Species, identification, selection, purchasing, collection, growth, diet, health, disease, medications, water parameters, tankmates, breeding, mishaps, equipment, costs, and everything else for these fish without bones.
