or a port jackson in a 180 gallon tank

Yeah - a 180 gallon tank isn't large enough to keep a Marbled Catshark (Atelomycterus macleayi) for life, IMO. To keep one for life - you need a tank that's at least 360 gallons(footprint of 24 sq.ft.).

While a 180 gallon may be okay for a small Port Jackson's pup(under 18"), it's no where nearly large enough to keep one of life. For that you need a pond of nearly 3,000 gallons.

Yeah, a PJ will be four or five feet at full adult size. Most think they stay small like other horn sharks.
