Possible shark tank

[macca661]

Hey guys I currently have a 4x2x2 aquarium that houses a 30cm snowflake eel , one 15 cm harlequin tusk one stonefish fairly small and a rabbit fish.
We are looking at building an 8x2x2.5 aquarium to house the eel and stonefish and possibly a smaller species catshark is this appropriate for this size tank as ive read mixed advice or am I going to have to look into a wider tank or possibly a 10 footer thanks for the advice in advance

I'd look for a bigger foot print if possible.

8'x3' is pretty much bare minium for sharks, even catsharks. My coral cats are in a 10'x3' and they could use some more room during feeding when there shooting around open water. If your building a tank yourself. 8'x4'x2' is a good size to shoot for.

Yea the length is not as big of a deal as the width the wider the better. Like stated above 3 feet would be better, 4 feet would be an ideal width to shoot for
