Dear Shark curious:
First you must - must - must buy the book, Aquarium Sharks and Rays - An Essential Guide to Their Selection, Keeping and Natural History by Scott W Michael.
It is a must for all shark/ray owners.
I have:
2 bamboos
1 epaulette
1 coral cat shark
I cannot emphasize how important it is that you buy that book and tell anyone who has sharks to do so also.
I have met so many aquarists that will spend tons on equipment and fish and not one penny on a good book. Buy the book, then invest in the other things.
Don't get me wrong here, I am on 4 forums total because I have such a wide variety of fish. MFK is by far the best and have the most amazing experts, but there is nothing like having a hard covered book right at your disposal at anytime. Look at it as an investment in education and your fish health.
One man I knew spent $3000.00 on his 55 gallon, yes, 55 gallon tank because he refused to do his homework and his LFS, mine in fact, just kept telling him to buy a book and read and learn. I told him to visit that LFS and the man told me that the LFS owner keeps telling him to read books! $3000 later.........

DEFF. eels!!!!!!! they're GREAT with sharks i absolutely love them my eel has been bestfriends with my bamboo shark since day one they're never apart. i have a snowflake due to the fact they're not tht aggressive.
boogie. i worry about buying the book considering how many posts i see on here that state this information from the book is wrong, he was wrong about that, he was off with the temp he was wrong about... etc.... i just worry that i will get more confused than anything else by reading it. thats why im trying to do all my research on here.
