Bamboo Shark Questions.

[exile415]

I have a questionS. My friend wants a bamboo shark and it's his birthday soon so i was wondering what does it need.
1. What can he live with ?
2. Is the bamboo shark compatible with fish ?
3. how big of a tank ? If he is 7inches
4. Will he eat fish ? (For Example : Damsels ? )
5. How will he eat the SharkFormula ?
6. Do i just throw the sharkformula in the tank and he will find it ?
Thanks in advance.

You can house them in a 125 TEMPORARILY at his current size, he will need around 200+ gallons later on. You want very little rockwork because it will prefer more open areas.
He is compatable with fish, and just like every single fish feeding is based on the individual fish.

It spends all his time on the ground right. He wont swim ?

He will spend much more time on the ground then he does swimming, but he will occasionally lift up and move about the tank, generally during feeding.

I asked another friend of mine about the bammboo because he has one and doesnt want it anymore so i picked it up at his house and took it to my house and now its bumping into walls and seems like hes blind ..

If hes in the 60g that your profile says hes in then hes bumping into walls because its like sticking you into a refrigerator box and then being forced to live in there.
If you cant get him moved into a larger tank very soon then I would bring him to a store that can accomodate him because he is going to stress out and die very quickly in a 60g.
