shark ideas???

[coolrunnings]

what would be the best sharks for a 180 gallon tank? and if thats too small what would u reccomend

 

[sikoko]

180 is generally too small for most sharks. i believe a coral cat shark would work quite nicely though.

Find the shark you want, then buy the tank to fit in. That method usually works better than fitting a shark into a tank you already have.

ok well he obviously cant do that now. i agree that 180 might be to small though...

Very cool little shark, isn't there max size around 27" or so?

 

[alemon]

180 does seem pretty small for most, but i'm no expert.

Species Chiloscyllium, Epaulletsharks, coral sharks, Californische hornshark.

A standard 180 gallon may work for the pups of most common available benthic shark species - such as Bamboos, epaulettes, coral catsharks and horn sharks. But usually after a year or so - you will need a larger tank.

You can easy put a bamboo shark in there and a horn shark don't listen to the other people they'll be fine. The bamboo will get like 14 inches and the horn shark won't get 3 feet that's BS.

Brendanm15 that is some hanous information....bamboos will get every bit of 3' if not the full 40". Also both species u mention are not compatible due to tempature. I house 2 20" coral cats in a 197 (just like a 180 but 7ft. Long) and i can clearly see they need more room. They are growing and have an exellent setup but id like to give them a better home. Its only right. I recomend coral cats to start with. They are much more managable than bamboos in the long run. I planned on moving them to a 300 but id rather put them in my 450 (8'x3') just to give them all they deserve.
