its not just on youtube its at a zoo i think the people at the zoo know alot more about these fish then you do
Is a 300g big enough?

epaulette should have a tank with a 4' width minimum and really should have somethgin even larger, though a coral catshark at 27" max may be able to be in a 300 for a while, but would also be better off in a 4' wide tank as well.
as for puffers and sharks I've seen it done, always in larger setups though.

Epaulette gets 3'6" PNG Epaulette gets 2'5" id say they would be fine in a 300 gallon they can turn on a dime for one thing they can just about turn right around thats why people say they should have no smaller then a 180g but i think the smallest you should go with a Epaulette is 260g a PNG Epaulette might be ok in a 180g
You obviously don't have a saltwater tank or sharks for a reason. Your credibility here will be noted.
For the 300 gallon a pair of coral cats or marble sharks would be great. You could breed them and have a great home for them. That or one white spotted bamboo could do well for some time. You could grow the EP up for a while then sell it but it sounds like you want to keep it. A pair of cortez stingrays wouldn't be a bad idea either. Anyways good luck with your tank, it's good to know you can pick the real advice from the imaginary.

your really rude you know that im just trying to help this guy out and if you can have a Silver Arowana in a 300 and it gets just as big as a Epaulette so it would work

This statement is why you shouldn't be in the saltwater section. Your comparing sharks to fish, which is just proving your intelligence. I also suggest more room for the arowana, but marine life is completely different.
I suggested a white spotted bamboo because they are much cheaper and would be easier to get rid of. They also fair well as a first shark for a new owner. Your not helping anyone, your encouraging people to kill sharks.
Comparing FW fish to SW fish is like apples & bananas. Sharks are eating machines--they produce HUGE bioloads. They need a TON of dilution. You are also quoting minimum tank sizes for swimming room. IDK about you, but I don't want to live out my entire life in a minimum space.
you guys are so full of it lol and if you look back i was the first to suggested a coral catshark
You guys are funny. I would comment but I am afraid you guys might tell me I don't know what I am talking about. Plus I don't do sitting sharks.
But for real if you want to have a small sitting shark for life make sure you have a 8x4 foot print or bigger. Hight isn't so important. Or make sure you have a good home lined up for it when it grows. If you get a tropical shark keep it in the low 70's and feed once every five days with vitamin supplements it will grow very slowly but also be healthy. Just my 2 cents but what do I know
