smallest free-swimming shark

o, well someone had a vid of a bamboo shark or something in its egg, not for sale just to show

that was me

 

[Keeper of Sharks]

I would suggest starting off with one of the bamboo sharks. I like the white spotted bamboos myself or maybe an epaulette shark. It’s cool to get them in an egg and raise it from egg to adult. As for size of tank, the bigger the better. I would stay away from the smooth hounds, I have seen too few do well in home systems. Whitetips and blacktips would be cool but you have to have a REALLY big system. They are cool, and they get big.

To do a small ram ventilator, you're looking at 8,500 gallons or more. That would be about 15x15x5 feet. Even that will be small for an adult.

Keeper is right, start off with something a little less demanding.

bonnetheads still get to large to keep in a aquarium unless its huge

they max out alittle over three feet and are always on the move.. they would need alot of swimming space even though they are still a "smaller" species

I've kept bonnets before. You're looking at a lot of horizontal space and NO CORNERS. Big round curvey edges are best. You're looking at 30' across for a pool to handle and adult.
