Ohhh, the beautyful Zebra Shark

But...but ... I always wondered why a spotted fish is called "Zebra"

It's because they have zebra-like stripes on their body when they are juvéniles. They transform into spotted animals as they grow up.

Is it possible that the swell shark and the port Jackson shark have the same mold?

They seem Indeed alike, but they are not exactly the same: the tail of the Swell Shark has a more triangular fin than the Port Jackson's tail.

Yes, found in the shop of the Aquarium Palma de Mallorca. It was the last and only one with shark ball.

I fear for the lego brick!

Wonderful trio, Steve! I asked for a picture showing a different angle of the hammerhead and it was already here.
It seems to be a great hammerhead.

It is here...but it is also there too now I also thought it was a great hammerhead but I wasn't sure

Nice sharks

Hey Andreas,
a long time ago , you shared with us this ray model :

...and later also these, with another ray, which look`s the same model, but with different colours :

Do you know something about these models ?
Does it has any brand ?

I got this model from Aliexpress, thinking that it is maybe a copy of a major brand model, but after searching , I didn`t found nothing, except these two models from you :

It is a beautyful model , Kosta

I don't know the brand but it's gorgeous nevertheless

It looks to have the same pattern as the Safari marbled ray, but the sculpt is different--that pointed snout is very different from a true marbled ray. Looks neat though

What a great catch Kosta. Do you have a link please?

I think the origin version is that:

I am not sure but i think i have seen that as a part of a playset. But i bought mine as single figure. I think that was a chinese producer and all the other figures are colour variations later.

Oh, I moved it and am not sure where, when I find it I can confirm...  the first photo, of the yellow ray with black spots, I believe that's a model I recently bought one of at a flea market. It is a Chap Mei. If so, it would not be surprising for them to have reused the mold on differing color schemes.

Thank you everybody for commenting on this model :)
Also thank you Andreas and Kelly for the info.
Kelly, it will be nice of you, when you find it, to check if your Chap mei is the same :)
Andreas, here is the ling of were I bought mine :
Aliexpress

Let me see if this will work, without going to wake up the computer with the photos on it... copy/pasting from my recent finds post in General Additions. Looks the same to me. And it is marked Chap Mei.
