Yeah, both of these would seem to indicate that management at WWZA is...not exactly concerned about adequate space for their sharks. I'm not a huge fan of the tank sizes in either of these cases, though the wobbegong tank is bigger on this glance than I remember. It's still probably too small for two individuals imo.This tank contained black tip and white tip sharks along with the bamboo shark when I was there this past week:
I am not sure how many gallons they are, but I agree the wobbegong tank is more fitted for one, and even that would barely qualify as "adequate" IMO. But the tank in River Monsters is quite large and the sharks not huge, I don't have any issues with that tank.

Fair enough, to be honest I can't really tell the size of the RM one given the parallax effect of the glass's curvature. I vaguely recall that tank from my 2022 visit, but usually you'd need a minimum of 10,000 gallons to healthily maintain even one adult blacktip or whitetip reef shark. So my hope would be that it's in the vicinity of 30,000+ gallons.
