Description


Perhaps the most mysterious and alluring creatures kept by saltwater aquarists, sharks and rays are becoming increasingly popular among serious marine fishkeepers. In this long-awaited and much-requested guide, expert aquarist and elasmobranch enthusiast Scott Michael provides the definitive introduction to the biology and behavior of home-aquarium-scale sharks and rays. Topics include species selection & identification, buyer’s guide, shark aquarium setup and maintenance, feeding, health, breeding, behaviors and natural history, and stocking recommendations for the shark or ray tank.

Aquarium Sharks and Rays review

Good book, just dont go by their minimum tank requirements. They are actually way too small to keep adults of the species in captivity but would work for juveniles. I would recommend it to someone who is thinking of keeping a shark but a background with saltwater fish keeping and further research is a must. It is a good foundation though and well worth the cost. sharkraycentral.com also has lots of great shark keeping info

Great book!

I had been told by many people that this was the definitive book for people looking to setup a shark or ray tank. I had heard nothing but good things about this book and after reading the book I concur with those opinions. The book gives you a great overview though this should be supplementary to other research you do. There is much more information that people will need to know about properly caring for which ever shark they choose and the best way to learn it is through multiple sources. The only thing remotely negative I have to say about the book is the tank sizes listed tend to be smaller than most expert shark keepers would recommend. Other than that this is a great book and a must buy for those looking to start a shark tank.
