shark in a 70 gallon tank

[crimzy]

Don't go crazy here, I am not suggesting that I would keep or suggest anyone keep a shark in a small tank like this. But I just wanted to start a discussion that, hopefully, some of the experienced aggressive people would chime in on.
Scott Michael suggests that a ward's wobbegong can live in a tank as small 70 gallons. His rationale for this makes sense... the shark doesn't get very big and and is one of the most inactive species in the aquarium trade. I know that many will argue that Scott Michael's advised tank sizes are too small.
Personally I think 70 gallons is too small, but what about a 125? I have never owned this particular species. In fact, I don't recall seeing a ward's available anywhere.
Now, I hope this thread is not the green light for some newbie to put a shark in a ridiculously small tank. Just wanted to get some other thoughts.

how big does it get if it gets over 2 ft. i would never put it in anythingless than a 180

I would say a 125 would be ok. That shark is much like an angler fish...... in its really nothing more than a rock with a mouth and a big appatite.

my book say 110 gallons, maybe you read it wrong. and they get 31.2 inches so i would say no to a 70 gallon or even a 125

i know where wards are reasdily available(no iw ont tell

) but IMO as said is till wouldnt keep him in a small tank, the only thign with the wobbie species is that there are FEW fish that you can keep with him that he cant eat. the generally rule is get what he cant swallow, but did you ever see a shot of an open wobbie mouth?? a large tang would fit in there easily!!! so it mught turn into a species only tank!!
