Mustelus henlei

[foothead]

Mustelus henlei - is the Brown Smoothhound. Sometimes they are referred to as the Pacific Brown Smoothhounds - because they have the same basic range as the Gray Smoothhound. But Browns only reach about 39 inches long.

They also seem to be less hardy than the grays, and are usually considered to be more difficult to keep. Either way - for smoothhounds - our looking at keeping water temps below 70F.

Yeah, that is pretty much all the info I have found. Do you know any more about them? It looks like a good fish for a medium sized pond to me.
