My neighbor has one in his 500g. shark pond and he says it was harder to get it eating then a bamboo. They also get way to big for any home aquarium and shouldn't be sold IMO. They get like 10-12ft. in the wild so unless your aquarium is like 20,000 gallons are so then don't get one.

My LFS has a baby nurse shark in a tank that looks like a 75gal. I asked him "What you going to do with the shark in the future if nobody is buys it?" He said " Well i will just have to a bigger tank". Then i said "how big". Then he said "Oh,......maybe a 125gal" Then when i was walking out the the door i said " you might as well just give him to the ocean".
:scared:

You need an INCREDIBLY large tank accomodate such a shark. Some people buy them as babies and end up not being able to get rid of them when the outgrow the tank, many large aquariums won't even take them. Quite a tradegy IMO.
Not a good shark for the hobby. :nope:
