what do you all suggest is a good shark to start with that would do well in a 15 or 200ish gallon tank??? I was thinking a coral cat shark?? does anyone have any objections??? one more thing do you need to have an acrlic tank or willa a glass tank do fine???

I had a coral cat and there personally not a favroite of mine. They mostly hide as much as they can during the day. But they are vary active during the night. I suggest a bamboo. When I had them they were all vary active. They are hardy and should do good in a 200.

1)Glass can I use it?
2)is length better than depth or the other way around?

People would say that it would live in a 200, and they would be correct. However, they get to be about 3 1/2' on average in captivity and would be more apt to thrive in a 300 or lager. So, yes, it would SURVIVE in a 200, but after my experience with them I would not put them in anything less than a 300 (or something 8x3 at least).

Baseline, the best place to go is with a coral catshark. Some say they are boring and whatever, but still incredibly interesting creatures.
