shark care(updated!!)

are bonnetheads similar to lblack tps in care

 

No, they are in different areas. Bonnetheads are found on flats, blackfins are more deeper reef type fish.

 

so how would i go about making the tank suitable for all these sharks? heres what i gor for different sharks

black tips
smoothound
bamboo
port hackson
bonnethead
marbled
epaulette
brown carpet
nurse?

 

if i didnt add so many fish could i have that many sharks?

 

No, stick with the 3 blackfins and a bonnethead. Maybe a fiddler or bluespot too. Then add some large tangs and triggers. Those sharks will fight.

 

wait so black tips will fight with bamboos? what about smoothound?

 

anyone?

 

Smoothounds have high mortality because they are coldwater. Bamboos and BLack tips won't fight since they are in different areas of the watercolumn. Perhaps smoothhounds will fight with blacktips since they are both free swimming.
Try to keep all your fish from one area so they don,t infect each other with new disease. Blacktips are indo so keep them with indo fish.

 

Not to like completely spoil the party here, but why don't you just go with a GIANT reef sort of like David Saxby's tank? IMO it would be more enjoyable and more beautiful. I think you are underestimating the care level that sharks need. They are very difficult to keep and there is a reason aquariums are prety much the only places you will see them (besides the ocean).
You might disagree with me completely but this is just my opinion.

 

You can,t have a tank that is both caribbean reef flat, indo nearshore beach, australian reef, and indo reeg. I wouldn't put all those sarks together, do one free swimming species such as blacktips and one bottom dwelling such as epaulette or bamboo and that's it. Both those fish are from the samish area. Then add some indo fish and be done. It seems you are just dragging this on.
