Sharks

[Hallie]

Hi!

I'm a freelance journalist working on an article on people who keep sharks in home aquariums. I'm mostly focusing on epaulette, bamboo and cat sharks, but I'm just starting my research so I'd love to chat with anyone who currently has a shark or has kept one in the past. From what I've read, keeping sharks in home aquariums might be controversial, so I'd like to hear your views on that as well.

I'm a big fan of sharks. I grew up in Florida. I've had freshwater aquariums before.

Please let me know if you're available to chat.

Thanks!

Best,

Hallie Lieberman

I have kept them in the past (bamboo and coral cat sharks). I dont know what you are looking for but its possible I may be able to help. Also check out AquariumDomain on youtube he currently keeps bamboo sharks in a diy aquarium. He is very active in the comments, he would probably take some time to chat with you.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I've kept all three of those species. I'd be happy to give you input, just PM me.

I'm a retired public aquarium curator. Thinking back, my first magazine article in 1981 was "Sharks in the Marine Aquarium" (grin).

I have considered one of the types of sharks you mentioned and if I was doing like a 750g+ tank I would but I think even a 500g is too small for them.

Dang the one predatory fish I dont keep sharks are so cool I wish I had a tank for one!
