Common name: Bullhead Sharks

The order Heterodontiformes, commonly known as bullhead sharks, comprises a small group of sharks characterized by their distinctive head shape and pig-like snouts. These bottom-dwelling sharks are often appreciated in public aquariums for their unique appearance. In the home aquarium, however, they are rarely kept due to their larger size and specific care requirements. They are known for their hardiness and ability to adapt to captivity, but their need for large tanks and specific diets makes them a challenge for the average hobbyist.
