I actually got the bamboo shark from Underwater World, because I used to work at a school where they had it as part of the marine science program. I looked after it there, but they don't run that program any more
so free shark for me
If you ask at most aquariums they should be able to order one in.
It's funny because people say they are one of the hardest animals to look after, but that was my first marine experience, and he has lived through power outages and everything :lol: although some of the other schools had shocking stories of how theirs died, our school was the only one that never had a shark die (we had 3, one after the other, that went back to UWW when they were too big)
Just note that they do get quite large (over 1m), and would need a massive tank when they are adult size. Or you could just donate it to UWW and buy another one, but its hard to say goodbye
A 5x2x2 tank would give it at least a couple of years, depending on how much you feed it and how quickly it grows. The second pic I posted earlier is about a year old, and about 18 inches. The first pic was about a month or two old.
(speaking of which, i have a 5x2x2 tank for sale if you would like it
:lol: )
anyway i'll shut up now, PM if you have any Q's...
show more aquarium setups!!! (of the aquatic variety)
