aa horn shark would be ok in a 300, i would go with one of them over a bamboo. plus you can get them easier

 

[dlight692000]

horns can live in 72-80

You're definitely gonna want to get a 300 gallon tank. Although, hron sharks can live in smaller tank, I would recommend the 300. Especially if you are thinking about Bamboos. They're cool and if you have the space get the 300, you won't regret it. You always have to look at it from their point of view and personally, I dont think they would like to be cramped in a small tank. I mean, if they lived in the wild a couple of days ago, I doubt they would like a small tank. So, if you have the space and more importantly the money, get the 300 gallon. Also, welcome to the board. Hope ya like it.

definatley go for the 300. what about an epaulette? i think those are the coolest shark, but they get around 3.5 feet. give all sharks a soft substrate b/c their bellies can scratch easily. as for fish with a shark someone else can answer that. maybe a small grouper, large tang/angel, or somethin else, im really not sure what will go with them. this is definatley the best bb on the net and dont be afraid to ask ?'s. later, bo

Grouperhead, would a grouper go with a shark?.. the shark wouldn't eat it?... and thanks for the advice !

i dont see a problem with a grouper and a shark. panthers get really big, you could probably have a panther and a shark in a tank. miniatus get good size too. my favorite grouper is the blue-line which is relatively small, only getting around 12-14". but if you want a shark and have a 300 gallon aquarium i dont see a problem with a grouper as the ONLY other fish. later, bo
