Hey MFK, I was wondering if I went with a 300g (96x30x25) would that be large enough to house an epulate shark? I have seen everything from 180 to 500g minimum tank size for one. Also would a porcupine puffer be a bad idea for a tank mate?
Is a 300g big enough?

Hey LD50, you get get lots of replies from people like zoodiver, jabba, krj and so on if posted in the "shark and ray" section. I think you may just make it because of the floor space. Still I would post it in the other section. Good Luck
. I dont know how to move it but if a mod comes through and could toss it over there that would be super.No it wouldn't unless you got a custom foot print.
Like a 8x4x18 or something which would still come out to 350
puffer would be a bad choice in tank mates.

Sharks are fish eaters. Keep in mind, a puffer's poisonous organs are one of the most toxic chemicals on earth. Even if the shark attempt to bite the puffer, they will most likely both die. An adult porc alone, needs 100g of space & biological filtration.
but if it was me id get a Cat Shark they look alot cooler and you can put alot with them too oh and about the shark you want it can go with a puffer and a number of things heres a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwZFPLcbIkE

A guine fowl puffer is much different than any other puffer. Not to mention the puffer would kill the shark, not the other way around. You really should stop spreading such terrible information jacob. That tank is obviously 700 gallons plus too. Just because it's in a youtube video doesn't mean it should be done.
No the epp shark needs 400g plus
Tank mates include sharks, eels, groupers, lion fish, and stingrays.

Hey PP, yea I was thinking about that which is why I was looking at the epaulette shark b/c they apparently feed on mollusk, inverts and worms. Not that they wont feed opportunistically on fish because they will, it is just they are more of a digger/scavenger than some of their cousins who are primarily picevores. This is however just what I have read on them, I have no exp which is why I asked here and I am glad I did!
Thanks for the input everyone, I was going to spring for the 300 but without the shark in the picture I guess its time to order the 240 and get the project started!
