i'm afraid they are a deepwater shark. 75m-550m. not sure if that's deep but i'm pretty sure it is. reaserching should have been done before buying any fish.

they really rnt supposed to be! i dont know about that particular shark.. but sharks in general need sugar fine sand b/c there bellies are very weak and can be cut up and/or irritated by thicker sands...

you would be unable to keep this shark in your reef tank as it needs VERY cold water from what ive read 70 or below.. and your reef shouldnt be even close to that.. so i wouldnt purchase one till you have something ready for it.. and to be honest i dont see this fish as a smart choice for an aquarium period as it is a deep water fish and the pressure differences cant be good for it.. i would think it would cause a much shorter life with the stress put on them and there life ill shorten even more if kept in hot water! simply put this is one of those fish that probably never should have been taken from the ocean.. IMO! it may have a much shorter life than you intended..
RESEARCH! ALOT! before you make our decision for sure!

I think that means they don't have one.
