Short Tailed Nurse Sharks - average about 24" long, and max out about 30" long. You could keep a pair (1 m,1 f) in a 6-foot diameter pond (420 gallon) as a minimum.
As for tank mates that could be pairing with the Short tailed Nurse sharks
- Zebra Eel
- Coral Catsharks
- Bamboo Sharks
- Epaulette Sharks
- Round Stingrays (like Cortez or Yellow)
Note - I am not suggesting all of these be kept with Short tailed Nurse at the same time. Just options for a larger system such as a 750-1,000-gallon system.
