Keeping Bamboo Shark

[SamuelTan]

Anyone have any experience in keeping them? Wondering if they will harm small hermits and cleaner shrimps

1st question comes to my mind is how large a tank you have to consider housing the shark?

Almost forgot to reply, a 4ft tank.

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.

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.

Hmm.. My tank is 4ft x 2.5ft circular, guess i'll keep away from them! Thanks!
