The Port Jackson Shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) is a shark found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, from Australia to Japan. Reigning from the bullhead shark family they have a blunt head, a tan or beige body, and black stripes. They typically reach a maximum size of 36 inches in captivity, though they can reach sizes exceeding 66 inches in the wild. They should have ample room to swim and should be housed in an aquarium of at least 500 gallons. They should be fed a variety of crustaceans or carnivorous preparations. They should not be kept with smaller fish, as they may consume them.
