I found this post from another site and I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Whenever, I make a bonehead decision regarding my fish, I'll just think of this guy and feel all better
And yes, this was a real post, not a troll.
"Little Tank of Horror (sharks?!?)
What's up guys, I have a question to add to your list. I am currently upgrading from a 55 gal. tank ( 48 x 12 x 24 ) to a 125 gal. tank ( 72 x 18 x 22 ) with two prefilters drilled, a Rio 4100 pump, a 150 gal.
wet/dry, a protein skimmer rated for 150 gal. ( I saw one in my LFS but
can't remember the brand ) & two 72 inch VHO lamps. I plan to have 80
lbs. of live sand & a few live rocks in the center - but otherwise pretty
barren so the sharks can have as much room as possible. I was
contemplating on getting 2 Sleeper Gobies (Valenciennea strigata ), or 2
Yellow Head Jawfish ( Opistognathus aurifrons ) & a Reef Lobster
(Enoplometopus daumi ). I want to know what's the best tankmates for
sharks? I currently have 2 Leopard sharks, a Horn shark (Heterodontus
francisci ), a Whitespotted Bamboo shark, & a Brownbanded Bamboo shark all about 1 foot in length. I figure the lobster would have to be 1/3 the length of my sharks. What's your opinion on worthy tankmates & some"
Yup, that right folks, 5, count 'em, 5 sharks in a 55 gallon
:scared: We've joked about stuff like this, but I never actually thought anyone was stupid enough to actually do it
