Juvenile nurse sharks are sometimes sold in the saltwater aquarium trade.[5] However, since nurse sharks attain lengths in excess of ten feet they are far too large to be kept in home aquaria.[5] In an article for Aquarium Fish Magazine, Scott W. Michael criticizes the ethics of aquarists attempting to keep species beyond their spatial and financial means.[5] He also notes that most public aquaria are not interested in taking specimens that have outgrown home aquaria and that they should never be released into the wild.[5]

Over 10 feet long at maturity and are born 30cm! Seems pretty specific to zoo sized facilities.
