Should Leopard sharks be kept in captivity?

[Zoodiver]

First of, please realize that the 'reality' of the aquarium reality shows is that those aren't long term tanks - and some that you see are set up long enough to make a show, then taken down.


There are dozens of sharks that are very well suited for common home aquariums. And there are more "mega tanks" hiding out there with very healthy sharks than you might realize.

As posted - Leopards need to be 36", and thrive in cooler/cold water. If you can provide that, they do very well under human care. Especially compared to some of the other sharks that show up in the pet trade.

sorry.. that's my rant. i hate that show, tanked. and that annoying francis. he seems appropriately like the outcast.

Wrong show. You're thinking of FTK.
