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
