remora q's

[sharkboy13]

what size tank does a remora need and can it be kept safely w/ eels?

 

[psusocr1]

correct me if im wrong but doesnt a remora need a very large shark to swim around under and feed off of ? can you evan keep just a remora by itself?

You cant keep them by themselves, no...plus, they'll reach 3' - 4' in length.
Without a large host fish (sharks), they'll die.

It's not a true Remora then.
As I've already said...they'll reach 3' - 4' in length and they're also mainly found on open water sharks. So...you tell me...what size tank do you think you'd need?

I would say at least 400 or 500 gallons to begin.
