Hi all i am currently setting up a 6x2x2 salwater shark tank as i want sharks in it before u go crazy cause it's to small this will be a grow out tank planning to move them to a much bigger pool 5 metre dia

my question is what sharks and others would u keep in it?
what sharks and stingrays?
will be after baby's so they will be pretty small :D
keeping in mind that i also wanne put bluespotted stingrays and lionfish in it will they go well together or some ppl had bad experience keeping them together? i myself was thinking about white spotted cat or bamboo sharks maybe even a port jackson last 1 could get to big for the pool i am afraid for or wouldn't ?
photo of the tank still with baby koi in them they out now seasand in it and salt getting the saltlevel ect good before getting live rock

hahaha

lol was about 40+ when i took that photo great summers bad for tankheat
thats why the tank is in my room now where i got airco
for when the summer comes i don't need a chiller
for my tank just turn on the airco
the stingray is helping the black stuff in ya pool i just read
good to know thats why i wanne have some stingray to
if i just have sharks & stingrays & lionfish will they leave a starfish alone?
or snails? will have the same problem with these tho when i set up a pool
as starfishes get rid of any algea but stingrays won't
how is ya algea in ya pool? do u have any? or a uv light?
 
Maybe Juvenile White-spotted Bamboo or juvenile Coral Catsharks - since your considering tropical water rays. BTW- The Lion is not a good fish to pair with sharks or rays. It's basically a recipe for a dead fish or dead fishes.
 
Why do people always want to put sharks and lionfish together?? I work around lionfish daily and dont even like/trust being near them.
 
had a lionfish together with a port jackson bought it like that sold the shark after a while but knowing the lionfish could do damage to me allot doubting if i would get 1 again tho they nice to look at but thats it lol

yeah thinking of white spotted bamboo or coral catshark more or both if they are possible to get here
 
cause it looks nice but am doubting about the lionfish as they are poison but ray also but they stay mostly at the bottom unlike lionfish
thinking of writing the lionfish off would be adding some color
what other colorfull fish would go with bluespotted rays and whitespotted cat or bambooshark know starfish wouldn't suvice long or would they with these kind of sharks?

LOL got a high offer for selling this tank 5 times more then what i paid for it
so am selling it soon and getting another cheaper 1 so my sharks & rays and all are gonna be free
just gonna take a bit longer to set up and move it all around again lol
but will be worth it when i am done updates hopefully very soon gives me more time to look for a more local supplier of sharks

in mean while the water will be cycled in the tank till my new tank maybe bigger 1 come
