i just bought a 125 gallon tank to day i am going to keep a 12 inch bamboo shark the tank is going to have amirical filter a bigmoomso protien skimmer and a 25 watt life guard uv. with a sand bottom and 100 pounds of live rock. can i keep a bammboo shark in there with a tusk a empero angel a clown trigger and a clown grouper.when the shark gets biger i will put him in my 180. :D
 
thats a lot of damn fish for a 125g the shark will be fine but when he does get big how are you gonna get him out?? one big fish net? no triggers with sharks, one or the other, triggers love cartilage. tje emp angel will die they need perfect water conditions and the aggressive water will kill it. i would go with the shark, grouper, a tusk and maybe a puffer of some kind. i still dont think the shark should go in a 125

scratch the shark and the angel. i would go with a trigger, grouper, eel, and a wrasse/hog. sharks get to big for a 125/180. most say that bamboos need at leas 250-300 minimum. bo

I would have to agree with everyone else no triggers with sharks. The trigger with pick the shark apart. Good Luck

once again you cannot keep any sharks in a 180 gal tank...if you really must have a shark then get yourself a 300 gal.
also as others have said the triggers will pick at the shark (untill it dies) and the angel will die in an aggressive tank...
go with grouperheads suggestions or you could swap the grouper/wrasse/hog for a lion (which would be my choice)
