    An old girlfriend of mine's father owns a place down here in Galveston called moody gardens.. Its these giant pyramids, ones a indoor rainforest, one's a big aquarium, and the other is an IMAX. I'll have to hit her up and go check out there tanks again, I'll see what they have together with their sharks..

    2 grey sharks with all the other fish and other sharks seems like overstocking IMO!bat fish are to peaceful and would get killed!

    Again, bonnetheads are a protected species! Don't buy them! They are unsustainable! Ignoring things does not make it go away. Angels will bother sharks, and rays will get torn to peices by them. I've seen it happen.

    this is not true, rays are kept with sharks in many tanks! the down town aquarium, the aquarium at my local doctors office, the lfs', and a couple local hobbyists.

    Last time I got my fishing liscense in Florida, they had a poster advertising that fact.
    Perhaps he will get Pacific coast ones, which are coldwater and therefore incompatible with anything on his huge list.

    the bonnethead sharks i am finding are kept with black tips bamboos and other sharks. they are definitely compatible. maybe just in your particular area they are protected.

    I live in Texas and they're definitely not protected here. They have a limit.. Like one or 2 per boat a day or something like that. They're not protected though man.
