Marbled catshark Profile

The Marbled catshark (Atelomycterus macleayi) is a small species of shark characterized by its distinctive light brown to beige coloration with dark brown or black spots and marbling. This species is native to the shallow coastal waters off northern Australia and Papua New Guinea. It has a slender body and a broad, slightly flattened head with cat-like, elongated eyes. The Marbled catshark is not particularly well-known in the general aquarium hobby due to its specific care requirements but is sometimes kept by experienced aquarists who can provide a suitable environment.
