good luck with them they get like 5-6'.
 
I think I just saw him on reefcentral. I just started my first salt tank and have been on there non-stop since. Nice looking shark. Don't they get up to around 4 feet? What size tank will he eventually be placed in?
 
Good luck with it.

I'm sure you know these are actually a cold water species and will grow to 5' long. I catch these guys right off the beach about 15minutes from my house. Hope you have a huge tank and a chiller in summer time. I have seen hundreds of these fish slaughtered over the years in the aquarium trade.

my room stays cold all year round but the final setup will definitely have a chiller! From my research, in the wild it takes 8-10 years for a PJ shark to reach sexual maturity at 36" or so long. I 100% understand the size capabilities of this animal but know i also have plenty of time to think things through properly! Honestly i can't wait for the day I have a tank big enough thats got 5' sharks swimming in it, LOL :WHOA:
