About this fish
About this fish
Smoothhound Shark Small 12"-14" is a marine shark offered as a small juvenile size. The existing description for this item identifies the animal as Mustelus californicus (California smoothhound). In an aquarium shop setting, this fish is typically used by experienced reef/large-tank hobbyists who can provide strong filtration, ample swimming space, and a carnivorous feeding routine appropriate for sharks.
Features:
- Identified as Mustelus californicus (California smoothhound), a predatory marine shark
- Small 12"-14" size makes it suitable for hobbyists specifically seeking a young, more manageable starting size
- Active swimmer that benefits from a well-filtered, well-oxygenated system and stable water quality
- Carnivorous diet—plan on regular feeding with meaty, shark-appropriate foods
- Not a good choice for keeping with small tankmates intended to remain in the aquarium
