Sharks

[mepling]

Are there any little sharks for marine tanks, that look like sharks, that would be good for a 30 gallon? I'm not finding anything.

And you never will because there aren't any! Not even close!

Nope. They all need plenty of swimming room and other fish don't resemble them that are small so you can't have the "shark" look unless you have a shark. And many people say they need a 180 gallon minimum. Not true. 6 feet by 2 feet is much to small even for bamboos. They reach about 42 inches and couldn't turn around in a tank that size. I have been planning a shark tank for years. If I ever do it, it will house two bamboos. It will be 12 feet long and 5 feet wide, I have gotten many quotes and it's not to bad. The only really expensive thing would be the skimmer, filter, and chiller.

I know a lady who used to breed bamboos in a converted hot tub in her basement but for most of us sharks are beyond our capabilities.

There are several Sharks that can be kept in our home systems, unfortunately they all should be kept in a 8' long 240g or larger tank.
