"the mere fact that the aquarist kept sharks that bred in captivity has to be called "advanced" since he knew the proper husbandry to keep the sharks well for them to breed in aquaria.. something (from what i understand) is hard to achieve."
Aha!! Now, we can start digging into the marrow of this subject. I've bred leopard sharks in the past. Got quite a number of pups out of my trio. However, I've never been successful in breeding bettas and raising the fry. I know a lot can be said about someone's level of interest. I've never really been interested in bettas so, I never devoted a whole lot of time and effort into breeding them. On the other hand, I've always been interested in large primitive fish and devoted a lot of time into learning about raising and breeding sharks. That's where the question comes in of 'who is more advanced', the keeper who breeds sharks or the keeper who breeds bettas. Or, are they both considered advanced due to their respective breeding successes?
