"If you are a fish lover, you may have thought about keeping a shark as a pet. It turns out that there are several types of sharks that can make very suitable pets! Their body size, energy levels, and eating habits all play a role in being a pet. Here is a list of sharks that are suitable to be kept as pets to beautify your aquarium!"
"1. Epaulette Shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum)"
The Epaulette shark or rank shark is a long and slender shark with a flat head. This shark is the most popular shark to be kept as a pet. The rank shark has a unique appearance due to its spotted coloration. They generally measure about 3.3 feet when fully grown.
"2. Brown Banded Bamboo Shark (Chiloscyllium punctatum)"
The brown banded bamboo shark is another amazing shark that can be kept as a pet. The characteristic of this shark is the presence of barbels around its nose. As its name suggests, the brown banded bamboo shark has a beautiful banded pattern.
"3. Wobbegongs (Orectolobidae)"
"Wobbegong can be a perfect shark to keep as a pet as long as you get the right species. Some wobbegongs can grow up to 10 feet long, which is certainly not ideal for an aquarium."
"4. Coral Cat Shark (Atelomycterus marmoratus)"
The coral cat shark is one of the species of cat sharks that lives in coral reefs. This type of shark grows up to 28 inches long, making it small enough to be kept as a pet. Its body is very slender, while its head and tail are short. The most distinctive feature of the coral cat shark is the numerous black and white spots on its back.
"5. Short-tailed Nurse Shark (Pseudoginglymostoma brevicaudatum)"
"The shortfin nurse shark is the smallest member of the nurse shark family. This shark is a tropical reef species that can grow up to 30 inches long. As its name suggests, the shortfin nurse shark has a short tail. They also have a relatively blunt wide head with small nostrils."
"6. Bala Shark (Balantiocheilos melanopterus)"
The bala shark is a freshwater fish that closely resembles a shark. The color, shape, and mouth of the bala shark make this fish look like a shark. However, in reality, the bala shark is still related to the carp family and is not a true shark, despite its name. The bala shark gets its name "shark" because of the way it swims.
"7. Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum)"
"The rainbow shark is a small fish with a ray-finned structure, closely related to species like goldfish and small fish. The rainbow shark is also commonly known by various names, including ruby shark, red-finned shark, and small rainbow fish."
The reason this fish is called a shark is because of its body shape and dorsal fin that resembles a shark. The rainbow shark has a long body, a pointed snout, and a forked tail – just like a shark! This beautiful fish also has an unusual color combination.
