Choosing the right aquarium shark for your tank
Be realistic about space before you order. Even the smallest aquarium sharks typically reach two to three feet or more as adults and need a system of several hundred gallons with a wide, long footprint that lets them turn and cruise. Juveniles grow quickly, so plan for the adult tank from the start. Provide a soft sand bed, open floor space, smooth rockwork without sharp edges and a secure cover.
Water must be stable, at 72-78°F with a specific gravity around 1.023-1.025, with oversized filtration and skimming because sharks are heavy feeders. Never use copper with sharks. Feed a varied diet of shrimp, squid, clam and fish fillet several times a week. Sharks are peaceful with larger fish but eat crustaceans, snails and any small fish they can catch, so choose tankmates with care and skip the clean-up crew.
