And 180 is the MINIMUM tank size. These babies get 4' long and are a high maintenance animal.

Having a big tank is not good enough. TOP END filtration is also required.

I was talking to an LFS once about them, and they told me if I spent on the proper set up, they would GIVE me the shark.

Sharks, due to their feeding requirements, can cause a clean tank to go dirty really fast.

Just a consideration.

The shark is cheap... but if you just want a shark because its cool... consider if you are able to actually keep it alive.

If you can. It will be an awesome display and I wish you luck.

I, myself, would love one... but I know that it is better left to HUGE aquariums.


Good luck. I hope you are truly prepared and not adding it to a tank not suitable.

Good luck in your hunting. Again.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
