A little research before asking will go a long way:

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Cat Shark, Black Banded

Noted as AGRESSIVE and CARNIVORE.


:death:

seriously....its called GOOGLE

Please use it
Sharks

They're listed as 'expert only' so if you're not capable of doing some baseline research, you aren't in this category

The next question...were you planning on starting this in your 20 gallon?
Or the 125?
Or the 220?

what size tank are you in?

 

[wontonflip]

LOL You mean, what size tank is in his imagination? ;) He was a very theoretical reefer.

 

[marines0311]

haha well i was looking to get sharks maybe just one or two banded cats. is a 250 gallon good enough?

 

[wontonflip]

Yeah.....bigger is always best, but minimum for a banded is 180, so you should be good.

 

[marines0311]

what about the environment? do i need to keep it mostly just sand or can i put a tiny reef in it?

 

[wontonflip]

I'm not a shark person, but from what I've read, they need swimming space. So putting rocks might cause avalanches if they knock it down with their tails. But I'm sure if you glue the rocks together or attach them together with pvc, it might be ok. But again, I really have no experience with sharks :)

OMG, I saw this in my new post list and I thought Spongey was back!
