Ok, thanks for clearing up. Using the bins to promote different movements sounds like a good idea...

Not true. Whitetip Reefs, Sandbars, and Smooth-Hounds are requiems thayt can all rest on the bottom. And Smoothhounds are small enuff to be kept in like a 100gallon.

no one said they couldnt. the thread is about swim pattern and glide lengths.
i really hope you left out a zero in your last sentence.

Actually - Smoothhounds aren't requiems. Requiems are technically considered to be members to the Carcharhinid Family. All Smoothounds are a member of the Triakid Family (Hound Sharks).

Also Sandbar Sharks which are true requiems - are considered to be Obligated Ram Ventilators.

And I've seen Smoothhound pups in a 100 gallon tank - talk about be very cramp for even a small pup. The Smoothhounds that are commnly available in the U.S. & Canada all reach at least 3-4 ft in length. So for life you really need ponds/tanks that at least a couple thousands gallons to hold one for life.
