Bamboo cat shark egg

[trev-salt55]

What is your opinion on a bamboo cat shark in a 55 gallon aquaium and fluval canister filter. The tank is has a huma huma trigger fish ciral beauty and 1 three stiped damsels and a four striped damsel my dad is freaking out that i dont have a good enough filter i would want to have him for a year or two after he hatches.

Its better to buy him at least a few months after its born because the damsel and the trogger will pick on it. If you want a shark for a 55 g its two small I recommend putting the rocks in the corner and keeping him partially because they grow big. Make sure you have a protein skimmer

Nope, no sharks in a 55 gallon. Sorry.

Well it is a baby he could only keep it for at least a year

What would it do to the tank if i dont have a protien skimmer and have one

Sharks need a lot of swimming room and 4 foot tank cannot give that to them.

Hi, Welcome to the site!

Tell Dad to not freak out too much...the chances of it actually hatching is almost 0. For a tank without a skimmer...macroalgae. There are some awesome decorative macros, check out Golf Coast ecosystems, they even have an on-line book on needs and care, to help you decide on what type to add.

Macroalgae will help keep your water quality pristine.
