Question for the lion experts

[kpptn]

Is it okay to put a small shark in with Volitan lion? If so, what are my limitations? Thanks in advance for your replys.

It would only be okay as long as you have a big enough tank for the shark. What size tank were you consdering?

We have a coral banded bamboo shark in with a lion at the store, you just gotta keep in mind the 10-12" of the lion and the minimum of 2' on the shark.

would a 120 be big enough!

No way that is to little for a shark but that would work for a lion

no, the shark needs at least 200+ gallons.

i have my lion and shark together, they rarely evan see each other let alone bother each other,, but i also have them in a 300 gallon tank! in a 125 ytour askign for ALOT of problems! anythign under 250 IMHO your asking for problems, plus baded cats get 35+ inches long! and they do it quickly!
regardless of what people think, i got my shark maybe 3-4 months ago im not sure, he came in at about 14-16 inches and he already had to put on another inch or so already. i DO feed him ALOt and Regularly!
