Tank Size Recommendations

Yes - Small-spotted catshark & the Nurse Hound would use the basically same formula as other smaller catsharks. But because these are larger species - they will require a larger tank or pond.

Yes of course but the formula would be the one for the active benthics correct? or is it walking benthics?

[krj-1168]

Well - true Catsharks & Bullhead/Horn Sharks are considered to be Active Benthic Sharks.

Inactive Benthics would be sharks like the Wobbegongs - Which basically sit in one place 90% of the time.

Walking Benthics would be sharks like Bamboos or Epaulettes.

i never knew that a white tip could stay in a cramped tank w/o getting stressed out! as pups, how big of a circular tub do they need? is 8 feet in diameter good enough for em?

Actually Whitetip Reefs shouldn't be kept in a cramped tank/pond. Yes they can get stressed out. A whitetip reef pup need alot bigger pond, than a 8 ft diameter. Just keep one until it's reachs maturity I would say you need at least a 15-16ft diameter pond(or about 200 sq.ft.). As keeping a Whitetip Reef for it's entire life - you'll need a large swimming pool size with a footprint of over 600 sq.ft.

But for specific details - look at pages 7-10 of this thread.
