You should be ashamed of yourself. Call the shark police. How long is that shark? Leopard sharks need aquariums 10 times as large as yours. What are you going to do when he gets big?

Is this supposed to be a sick joke?
I would say you need at least 1000 gallon to house a juvenile leopard.....and 10,000 gallon for an adult specimen. Plus, you need a chiller, a very large one.

he is approximately 20 inches atm, but its only temporary i am outfitting him a nice 55 soon!

Ah, quite the tongue-in-cheek joke for the morning...it is...isn't it......

LoL, I guess it's not really funny but I sure laughed

 

[thesamm]

u say ur gettin him a 55????????????? thats still 10 times to small :nope:

 

[moraymike]

Are we kidding?
I'd say 200 gallons for a juvenile leopard. Having kept a few in my lifetime, I've got to discourage folks from buying these guys. Yes, they are attractive and very active, but they just don't thrive in most home aquariums. They need very large systems, chillers, excellent water quality. Not a good idea. Sorry. Ask any of the aggressive veterans, they'll say the same.

Thats not a 40 breeder...

I wonder if this is the same person who has the baby whale shark?

Guys, the link is from an aquarium loacated in San Pedro. Cabrillo Aquarium. It didnt even look like the thing was in a tank, and i didnt believe it for a second. Maybe if u just check out the main page of a link that ends with "ORG", usually means it isnt a pic taken personally.

that was great. I assumed that it wasn't a 40 but i just sat here watching everyone else tellu how much bigger of a tank u needed. U can't see the ends of the tank which u definately could in a 40.
