Now ilinked from shark and catfish pages. I recommend looking through some fish wiki Special:category and adding more info on the fish before removing stub entry. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 10:49, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)


The first reference and the external link to pictures both seem to be dead. Also, the second reference does not support the statement that keeping iridescent sharks in home aquariums "...is not recommended for beginners." The second reference clearly states iridescent sharks are not recommended for home aquariums. Period. As an aquarium hobbyist with an iridescent shark, I'm aware of the problems in keeping them as pets. But I question if someone is trying to pass off opinions, advice, or original research in claiming beginners should not have these fish. The source material says no home aquarium (beginning or advanced) should house iridescent sharks. More/better detail (with sources cited and details supporting "why/why not?") is necessary if wikipedia articles are going to tell people what they should/should not do.
