    What bigger sharks breed in aquariums and in what numbers?

    And what about other "big fish" like saltwater rays, sawfish and groupers?

    I only have some figures of several years back and would have to look them up.
    sandtigers and lemons are a few of the biggest that reproduce from time to time.

    regarding rays: the bottomdwellers generally breed easier than active species such as eagle ray and cownose.

    if I find that list, I'll post it here
