    So this is my second post, and I was wondering, I have a 75g tank with a juvi banded cat shark in it and various inverts aka da cleenup kroo and I was wondering what else could I put in there. I was thinking some puffers but thats mostly it. Be kind, I'm new here. the Tank has been running for 4 years now.

    How big does that shark get too? You run the risk of the shark eating any fish that you may introduce in that tank. Did you research on that shark before buying it? Luna

    Thats the real problem with sharks and such. They don't let you keep much else. How big is yours now compared to when you bought it?

    yes I know. the shark gets to a max size of 40" although he is about 20" now and he still has stripes. I plan on gettinga minimum 255 g tank when he gets bigger. He grew about 6-8" since I got him 3 1/2 years ago.
