new shark owner

instead of doing 2 sharks look into doing a couple california round rays or atlantic rays. If you have to do a shark do a custom tank can get alot more surface area with less gallons maybe a 200 custom like 7ftx4ftx18in

Best advice, a 7x4x18'' would be badass..

Might as well go with standardized dimensions and make it 8x4x24. Less cutting, means cheaper pricing to have it built or buy the pieces and build yourself.

mi problemo es.... thats about all my spanish for this sentence haha... my problem is i have no where to put a tank 4 ft wide O.O

 

[zam0203]

how long can i keep them in a 2 ft wide tank?

 

[TheCanuck]

depends on starting size, and do you plan on upgrading for them?

There are other choices too, like a marble/coral catshark

here is a full grown one that could do great in a 24inch tank for life. A 240+ would be all you needed.

FINALLY!! thanks you thats all ive been looking for haha just trying to get someone to either help me figure out how i could make in work in a thin tank or show me a smaller shark!!!

can marbled be kept in a reef?

 

[TheCanuck]

can marbled be kept in a reef?

Yes but he may pick off smaller fish and inverts, mine don't but i am lucky i guess. They may knock over corals too, they can just are a little extra work.

sweet that sounds like it will be better sense i wanted a coral tank to begin with but i couldnt do it with brown bandeds

Some say 250g would be too small for a Silver Shark!
