The Banded houndshark (Triakis scyllium) is a species of houndshark found primarily along the coast of Japan, preferring temperate waters. This shark is known for its distinctive color pattern, characterized by dark bands across its lighter, grayish-brown body. It is a bottom-dwelling species that typically inhabits shallow, coastal environments. The Banded houndshark has a moderately elongated body with a blunt snout and is not commonly known in the aquarium hobby, partly due to its size and specific habitat requirements.
