i have multiple tanks but the tank this shark is going in and my current sharks is a 4x 2x 2x so if it were a full size it would be around 240 gallons but is technically a 120 and before you say "oh a shark should never be in a 120 gallon" it is more of a 240 than a 120 as they are reef sharks they don't really go too high up and they walk more than swim
I agree with that, i scuba dive frequently and have seen a lot of reef sharks. I have never seen a cat/bamboo/nurse shark swimming more than a few feet above the bottom. Most of the time they are laying down in caves or lounging around the rocks. As long as the tank has a large footprint, sand, and plenty of rock work/caves I see no issue keeping a reef shark in it. Provided that the keeper can provide a stable environment and quality food supply

the speckled gets clam, and the coral cat gets silverside so stuff that fits their environments more
Then yeah, I see no problem with you keeping sharks in a tank like that. Hope the new guy comes out happy and healthy!

I was not at all judging more so curious, we're sitting here wondering what kind of evil villain from a James Bond movie has sharks in a tank at home and how big would that theoretical tank be. I honestly feel like if all of us give our animals a good home and succeed it's happy for everyone.

yeah the message that I sent came out pretty passive aggressive I didn't mean to phrase it like that, and yes giving our animals a successful home and good care is all about keeping them :)
