Bamboo shark

[Chilumba]

Can a bamboo shark go with a blue throat trigger pair, bandit angel pair, yellow tangs? Thanks

Um, what size in this tank?

86x48x24 430 gallon pond

I would say go for it.. A 430g is good enough for life, if Im thinking about the same bamboo, they get about 3-4 feet... Just make sure he doesnt eat your other fish.

The other fish may nip at it. Especially the trigger. You set up is definitely big enough for it though.

Yes, I would be concerned with the triggers. What kind of hiding structure would the shark have? And how big are the triggers and angels and how big is the shark you are looking at getting?

i wouldnt mix those fish. dont want those angels to get attacked or your shark to get stressed to death. awesome sounding pond though.

 

[Tangs Rule]

I agree with alcohologist, triggers and large angels are some of the worst companions to keep with sharks and stingrays because sharks and rays don't move around much. The triggers and angels are likely to pick at them causing unwanted and unneeded stress to the shark.

not to mention injuries that in time may get infected and lead to death.

Yeah - Triggers & Angels are some of the worst tank mates for sharks, especially benthic species such as Bamboos.
