i suppose...its just that i REALLY like the horn sharks because they look a lot cooler to me and are more active (which is part of the problem) does that mean that the answer to my question is no?
Most bamboos will be too big as well. Some of the smaller catsharks (coral cat or marbled cat) would be a better choice for a small tank.
Have you looked outside the (glass) box? There are several 'pool' type options that aren't typical tanks and cost 1/3 of what aquariums do.
