Peter Ray - wow... hats off to u for taking your ray to the vet...

They did sell sharks a number of years back... Not sure why they decided to stop. Probably something to do with all the folks trying to put bamboos in 55 gallon tanks :thinking: Maybe not?

"Catsharks (coral cat, marbled cat, swell shark, spotted cat, tiger cat, cloudy cat, leopard cat, shyshark, puffaddershark, etc) There are more than 100 species of cat shark and all of them have their own unique coloring and beauty. They live over 20 years and many of them can be housed...

Originally Posted by ophiura Can I just ask a question that struck me as odd? If you would not the room for the offspring, and the local store won't take them, then why try and breed them???? Something just seems strange there? Not to be mean, it just doesn't seem quite right. :notsure: Good...

Originally Posted by moby Well, Let me first say, I do not consider myself a shark "expert". However after many years of practical "hands on" experience with the commonly kept species, I am confident I can give reasonable sound advice on their requirements in the aquarium. I have read Mr...

Originally Posted by moby Hey sharkguy22, Honestly, no offense, but I don't think it is a wise idea encouraging sharkboy13 to get more than even one of these. His tank is 180 gallons, this is the MINIMUM size for ONE specimen. Aside from the aquarium size, he will need some extremely good...

I keep large tangs with my coral cats.

Buy Scott Michael's book "Aquarium Sharks and Rays" before you get serious about getting one of these guys. He says that the minimum tank size for a bamboo is 170 gallons. While I agree that's on the small side, I think that you'd do okay for a while with the 180. Of course, you wouldn't be able...

While they are tempting when they are still small, green morays are not good home aquarium species (for most of us). They will eat all your fish, everything in your freezer , and they get way too big in a short amount of time. Most folks that I've known that had one wanted to get rid of it in...

Yep, I had a Bumblebee before. I'm not surprised, mine tried to eat a horn shark that was much bigger than it was... Very neat groupers, but get way too BIG!

Yeah, I completely understand why you'd want more flexiblity with your tank. If the shark just doesn't fit in your plans, find it a good home. A few thoughts on coral cat sharks... I have them and really enjoy them. However, they aren't for everyone. They are rarely active during the day...

Looking good, Sharkguy22!
