i know a thing or 2.
depending on the size of the cat shark, you are going to need a pretty big tank. Take for example. a bamboo shark or banded cat shark can grow to 36" you would need at least a 400 gallon tank for that size fish. they are also extremely messy featers which means you will need a lot of filtration and a huge skimmer.
i made the mistake of helping a guy out who hatched a bamboo shark from an egg and it grew to its full length of 36" it was in a standard 180. i setup a aga 210 for it and it was way too small of a tank. after a few months he jumped out and died when i wasnt home.
here is a pic of that shark
Awsome shark. I knew that they need big tanks. But It is really about the gallons? These sharks are bottom dwellers so do u guys think if it was in a long tank and wide instead of height that it would be ok?
