OK I currently have a 72 gal bow front with nothing in it. Im thinking about purchasing a black banded cat shark or a marbled bamboo cat shark, but this tank would only be temporary. When it gets bigger I will either buy a large tank or donate it to my local lfs that would keep him in a very large aquarium. Does that seem like a good or bad idea?

well depends really.
if you REALLY want a shark, i don't think getting a brownbanded bamboo egg and hatching, raising it in there for a couple months is too much of a bad idea.
you have to understand you'll get upgrading pretty soon though.
this is also assuming you'll have perfect water quality.

yeah, like eveyone said, this is a HORRIBLE idea.
DO NOT BUY ONE UNLESS YOU HAVE AT LEAST A 500 GALLON TANK. A 72 gallon tank would only house it for about 3 months.
Also, the first few months of raising a shark can be very hard and expensive. In addition to this, the water quality has to be PRISTENE.

i would say 500, more like 300, but bigger is definately better. yeah you'd only get a few months out it, and sharks are too much trouble to keep IMHO
Yeah, Definatly a Bad Idea
I have my pair in a 1,000g FOWLR Type System
A 72inch tank would last about 1-2 months and would not be worth it for you to buy it,
and then just give it away or worse KILL IT

But I think these guys got it covered. Bad idea. 72gallon wont last long. For a Brown Banded Bamboo you need atleast 350gallons, and for a Marbled Cat Shark atleast 250gallons.
