I dont think this is worth the time to answer.......but i'm gonna have to say no.I think it may be worth ur while to do some research on the subject of keeping ANY shark.

No saltwater shark is gonna fit in a 20 gal you best bet is to the question to be a misprint and you meant 200 gal but its still to small.

yes, about as well as you could be kept in a shoe box
c'mon, who would fathom such an idea, except someone with 3 yrs experience that is
hey guys, can i keep a mako in my 75 gallon, while we are on the subject?

Great White is the only way to go. But you will need to keep a few baby seals in your living room for food :D :D

if you get the great white, you really need a higher canopy though, htose su..ers can jump over 1/2 of their body lengthoutta the water, and a standard hood won't cut it, gonna hafta build a custom top for the 90, but other than that you'll be fine
and for seals, why keep them the food is so much, just invite over some surfers for party every weekend(make it byob and you pay nothing), problem solved

If you read the information swf.com published on the picture of a nurse shark in the live fish store it says "max length 18 inches". I dont think Kevin is the only one smoking crack on this site!

sorry, but your profile shows a 20 gallon, so it was easier for all of us to assume you meant a 20, but the fact remains that they get 8-9 feet, and some even up to 14 feet in the wild, so even a 200 isn't enough for the poor thing, and most of us don't advocate putting a fish in for now, just to get rid of it in a couple of years, especially these things, because once he outgrows your tank, then what, the zoos really don't want them, because they are getting too many for this reason
