Smoothhound shark question... cold water...
7/1/06
Hello WWM crew. My question is about my twelve inch gray smoothhound shark.
He was born in captivity and been an aggressive eater the entire time I have
had him. He sometimes swims at the ends of the tank along the top
sticking his nose out of water.
<Not atypical anomalous captive behavior>
Recently he has begun swimming almost completely vertical in the tank sticking
his head out of water, even in the center of the tank.
<Bad...>
Water parameters are great and he shows no signs of stress or illness. No
bulges or pink or redness. He still has a voracious appetite as well.
<Burning... biochemically>
He really isn't utilizing all his swimming room as he spends most of the time
treading water. I should add this behavior has lasted well over a week.
Thanks in advance,
B. Thompson
