its a banded cat shark minimum tank size is 180g black tip reef sharks are nice but need a tank of at least 1000g minimum you could keep a black tip in say a 300g for maybe 4mnths before it would out grow it

My dream would be to have a reef tip shark but I know the minimum requirement is around 1000g. That would be extremely hard to maintain!

Would need to setup your own private home aquarium and charge people admission. That is more than I spend for myself in one week for food on the average.

the banded cat shark is the cheapest and easiest ot get for the home aquarium you buy them in there egg and put them in your tank for 2 mnths and they might hatch they only have a 25% hatch rate. and then there is only a 10% survival rate after hatch most just refuse to eat and die
