I dont exactly get what you guys expect the DFG to do...

Sure it sucks that the guy is ******* with the fish and keeping them in small tanks...But who is to say he actually transported wild taken finfish?

Spotties are rare to come by, but it IS possible to find them through wholesalers who import from mexico. And its NOT illegal to keep them. So aside from whatever law you think hes breaking by poking the fish with a stick, that video shows no illegal action.

I with you XDF. Not that big of a deal. You see mammals in small cages all the time.
Google 'Aquarium Sharks' Tons of websites like the one below.
The tank is too small, but that is nothing compaired to Commercial Shark Finners Torture.

Sharks For The Home Aquarium?

Zebra or Leopard Shark, Family Stegostomatidae

Stegostoma fasciatum (Hermann 1783), the Zebra Shark. Monotypic (only member of its own family, Stegostomatidae). Indo-Pacific including the Red Sea. To eight plus feet in length. This small one in a Public Aquarium.

Collecting Your Own



Is not recommended as being overly dangerous to shark and collector. Allow me this chance to mention the speed and elasticity of these fishes. Many years ago (when Paul McCartney was with the Beatles) I was a scuba diving instructor. On one check-out dive at San Diego's La Jolla Cove, my co-instructor came upon a four to five foot angel shark (Squatina californica), lying semi-buried on the bottom. Wanting to bring the shark's presence to his students' attention, he semi-wittingly grabbed the shark by it's tail. It promptly spun around one-hundred eighty plus degrees and bit off the end of his flipper.

A few further notes here concerning handling sharks. Be extremely careful. They are faster than you. Prior to the advent of good adhesives, shark skin was used as an abrasive, and for shoe tips due to it's sturdiness... shark skin is embryologically derived from the same tissue as their teeth and is very similar structurally. Some sharks have venomous spines; have I mentioned that they bite indiscriminately?

Is this clear enough? You are not going to bop a shark on the nose to prevent it from biting; if it's big enough it may bite your arm off at the elbow. You are not faster than even the tiniest, youngest shark.

Damage to internal organs from mis-, or any handling is a major cause of shark death. Shades of Flipper (Tursiops truncatus)! You've probably heard tales of dolphin butting-induced killing of sharks. Turns out sharks lose attachment (herniate) easily by being struck. If/when you have to move one: 1) wear gloves, 2) "Scoop" the specimen into a suitably large and strong plastic bag(s), and 3) get help with lifting and placing into a 4) Styrofoam or other soft-sided carrier.

Habitat

First of all the obvious, the bigger the tank, the better. AT LEAST three times the length and twice the width of the maximum size of the species you have in mind... See Fishbase.org re. Circulation should be robust; a beefy, high flow rate (five plus turns per hour) filtration system. You must have a functioning, high capacity protein skimmer.

Less "show tank" shape and more flat and shallow; ideally with rounded (mega-hex?) corners, otherwise minimized physical barriers to swimming around. Optimize surface area.

Conceal tubes, heaters, airlifts, filters, to prevent run ins, pull ups, tunneling, breakage... Very common a source of stress, loss of sharks.

Finer, less angular gravels are preferred to avoid scraping. Dolomite, marble are out; fine, crushed coral sand is ideal.

Spotties are rare to come by, but it IS possible to find them through wholesalers who import from mexico. That's true, but these guys definitely caught these two fish. I seriously doubt they purchased a soupfin shark..
