It would be better put:
Pangacius sharks are 1 meter at adulthood, millions of them languish and
die in home
aquariums each year. I've seen thousands of juveniles for every
semi-adult--almost none make it.
Hundreds of redtail cats are also sold each year, so there should be, by
now, thousands of four-foot cats in home aquaria. There ain't. Some
aquarists are equipped and willing to care for such beasts (many of which
will consume as much or more as another family member), but the vast
majority are not. Indoor ponds are expensive to build, even more expensive
to filter and heat.
