    ask them how long the fish last. my public aquarium had a sandtiger shark (5ft) eat a 2.5ft barracuda. also as incognito said, what they dont eat, they will shake and "play" with the fish.

    I'm prettyyy sure you can't buy those haha. But I know they don't get 15 ft.. What kind of grouper did you swim with that was that big? That would be almost double the record jewfish.....

    At the downtown aquarium in Denver they have a big tank with 10 foot sand tiger sharks with a 2 foot long pufferfish some other 10 foot sharks angels tangs
    even wrasse in there.but the size of the tank might matter along with the fishes personality and how there being fed and what there being fed along with how often there getting fed.

    when is your tank likely to be ready/installed ?
    Have you decided on filteration yet ?

    I have a 1200 gallon that is getting ready to be started, the big hold up with this one is construction completion prior to being installation.
