So they only get about 1.5 feet. I think there on the endangered species list. They also prefer to live below 1350 ft. Now thats one deep tank. If my tank was 1248 feet higher, i could get one
Add on:
A common benthic catshark of the continental shelf and slope of parts of the Northwest and Western Central Atlantic. Its occurrence appears to be patchy and irregular, with adults preferring rough ground, which is difficult to trawl thus providing refuge areas for the species. In the north of its range the species prefers the outer continental shelf, but in the south is generally found below 450 m. The northern population of this species appears to be increasing. This catshark is caught occasionally in bottom longline grouper/snapper fisheries and deep-water trawls, and is collected for the aquarium trade. These impacts are considered minimal given the species' widespread distribution, fecundity (oviparous with high laying rates documented in captivity) and the untrawlable habitat of adults. As such, Scyliorhinus retifer is assessed as Least Concern.
