Webby Shark ID???

[Fishes33]

A local seller selling his 14" male wobbegong shark, what kind of wobby is this???

Is it worth $500??? and can it be put into a 180G tank?

Just curious!

You are looking at a Tasselled Wobbegong (Eucrossorhinus dasypogon). It has bin reported to grow up to 50" or possibly larger. The price is right though.

No way to keep that in a small tank. You're looking at what will be a 5 or 6 foot shark.

Yeah, no shark should be in 180 gallon imo, maybe small bamboo sharks or something.
Especially wobbys

nice shark though, i hope someone with several thousands of gallons can buy him, to give him a good home. way to many poorly housed sharks in this world.

A 180 gallon tank would basically be a nice QT for a 14" Tasselled Wobbie.

The minimum tank/pond size for an adult Tasselled Wobbie would be about 3,500 gallons or basically a pond that 14' is diameter x 3' deep.

Anything less would likely be too small for it to live for it's entire life.
