i would like to know if you could keep a marbled cat shark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum) in a reef aquarium. all rock work would be secured via glueing (not glue obviosly) no aggresive corals and the livestock would consist mostly of tangs and a few clowns (at request of my girlfriend), i dont mind the smaller fish being eaten eventually i figured if the shark was well fed he wouldnt try to eat the fish and i cant see him eating any tangs of good size. with crustacians (for cleaning) i would be buying new ones every month to keep my stock up as the shark would eat them, he would not be introduced until my tank was set up for a round a year so they would have good populations. i see it as food for him and the aquarium being cleaned.
for the tank.
the tank is 7x3x2 with a 6x2x2 sump planned on having an isle of live rock in the centre of aquarium giving the shark freedom around the whole tank if it was say 1 foot wide then he would have a foot width either side of the rock and 1 1/2 foot at each end.
.........would this work? if anything needs changing or if theres a more suitable species of shark please inform me.
