HELP!

anything less than a 220 gal, depending on dimensions, would not be enough to support any of the aquaria-available species for life.
also, apistogramma master, by "bandit" shark i assume you meant banded [brownbanded bamboo] which will need a 550 gallon tank or pond/pool eventually. sharks are by no means "easy" and you have to be an extremely dedicated keeper to maintain these animals.
the easier "beginner" species would be the bamboos and eppaulettes.
if you don't mind me asking, why do you suddenly, immediately, want information on any shark you could keep?
give aquarium sharks and rays, by scott W. michael a read, but be aware that his min. tank reqs. are grossly undersized.
