Many sites say that you can put Nurse Sharks in tanks less than 1000 gallons, all of which are obviously untrue. You'll need thousands of gallons of water to provide for a Nurse Shark. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |

Calilasseia *Ultimate Fish Guru* Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003  | 1000 gallons will be insufficient for an adult Gray Nurse Shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum). These fishes reach 14 FEET in length. You'll need something nearer 20,000 gallons for one of those!  |
