Heterodontus portusjacksoni

PRICE ON REQUEST.

Heterodontus portusjacksoni, commonly known as the Port Jackson shark, is a medium-sized (they usually grow to around 140 - 160 cm) subtropical bottom shark. They range from a light sandy colour to greyish beige with a very distinct pattern of dark lines. A vertical stripe through the eyes, a stripe on their back from the first dorsal fin to the caudal fin and on their side something that can best be described as a dog harness.

These fish inhabit all kind of rocky areas near the coast, where they hide (almost always on the same spot) during the day and hunt at night. They feed on all kind of invertebrates, but mainly echinoderms like sea urchins, sea stars and sea cucumbers. They can best be fed with enriched frozen and live meaty foods like all kinds of shrimp, fish, crab, sea star and the occasionally mussel!
