SamuelTan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Anyone have any experience in keeping them? Wondering if they will harm small hermits and cleaner shrimps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member BFG Posted March 19, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted March 19, 2011 1st question comes to my mind is how large a tank you have to consider housing the shark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member iskay Posted March 21, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted March 21, 2011 These sites might help you. Both indicates that you need a six footer (180 gallons) to provide sufficient swimming space. Bottom dwelling nocturnal feeders so will mostly hide when the bright lights are on. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+41+1523&pcatid=1523 http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/sharkprofiles/p/bbbambooshark.htm Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water.

RushAct Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 maybe try getting a tank that is at least 6ft and 2.5 wide.. my dad used to keep sharks using a 6ft and 2.5wide tank which still seems pretty small and very often the sharks get hurt because everytime they circle around(U-turn) their nose kept rubbing the tank.
