I just googled coral cat shark and read some sites
here is another
Absolute minimum recommend tank/pond size: for a single average size adult Coral catshark is at least 24 sq.ft (Tank - 8' long x 3' wide x 2' deep, or a Pond - 5.5' diameter) with a volume of at least 360 gallons is highly recommended. For a pair or small breeding group of 2-3 adult sharks a tank of at least 33-36 sq.ft (Tank - 9' long x 4' wide x 2' deep, or a Pond - 6.5' Diameter) with a volume of 500-540 gallons.
You can click on a LOT of sites.....some say 150 Gallons.....some even more like what I just posted
the shark it self gets 24-27" long......what size tank do you think it should go in

NO....I said this before....I had one in my 225G....in less then ONE year it outgrew it and I donated it to an aquarium
it was a Cortez Ray.....supposed to be one of the smaller ones...LOL....this thing was like 12" round and 18" long when I donated her

With preds, as mentioned, you really need to be careful what you mix, and how you mix (order of acquisition/size differential). Some fish beat each other up, and some will simply plain eat each other, yet others get along just fine.
Unfortunately, for even the smallest shark or ray, you need an open-footprint tank of at least 300 gals, generally speaking with very little in the way of decor, as they tend to get stuck in between the decor and the tank walls. A soft sand bottom is also required so they don't irritate their soft bellies.
Once again, research is your friend...it will save you a lot of grief and give you the best chances of an enjoyable experience. Make a list of fish you like and research them or toss it out in the forums for opinions/review.
