types of captive sharks...

[Rhodes09]

at the new england aqauarium we have all sorts of Bamboo and Coral cats that are definetly in the home captivity range..

 

[BIGgourami]

the home captivity range

this is a really loose term..

have you ever seen airapimag's or JohnPTC's "home tanks"?

some people think 55 are crazy big..

designating something suitable for home aquaria is a loaded term..

numbers are all that really puts it in perspective



i mean think about it...

pimag or john could easily house a bonnethead or BTRS or nurse shark.. are they within the "home captivity range"?

how would something like an 8x4x4 do?

 

[Stingray12]

for a coralcat fine.

i apologize for using the captivity bred statement, honestly i was just trying to put this is lamens terms so i didnt get responses from people about large sharks.

When I was in india I didn't even know that we could keep saltwater fish in an aquarium! thats pretty cool that there are fish stores that sell saltwater stuff over there now...

 

[shark_curious]

so a coral cat needs a larger tank than a bamboo?

 

[Stingray12]

no bamboo would need a bigger tank because they are bigger

 

[shark_curious]

what about hardyness between the two of them? and basically your overall opinion?
