    Hung has a couple little sharks, and a bunch of rays too. I wouldn't put any of them in a 55 though. That's just too small, especially too narrow for anything that likes to swim.

    Ya, he also said you can keep a pair of Mandarins in your biocube.

    Do your own research!

    He has some bamboo sharks that just hatched there. Theoretically you could keep one in a 55. Its like those cute 6" arowanas with their little yolksack...

    People also say you can't keep more then one Tang in a tank too, so You do your own research then make your own mind up. Some times at the Retail level you sell what the person wants even if you tell them it may or may not work. That is just business. He has two 5foot sharks in his tank at his shop and they look very happy too me..They maybe in a smaller tank, but they still made it longer then most captive sharks. I think its a 300+ tank with two 5ft sharks.

    I never intended for this to turn into a comical or bashing thread. I was just curious if there was a shark that could be kept in a 55. I know hung is usually pretty particular on fish being kept in proper tanks.

    LOL Everyone is so touchy on here now. Gosh.. lol Live a little and Travis Hong is a very good friend of mine and I have always know him to be a very honest person that is all I am saying. There are many fish out there that should not be in certain sized tanks and you have to make that call your self after doing the research and asking questions as you did. Some may say its not good, but there maybe 10 more that have done it.
    Good luck with your setup.  I still have them Bulbs you wanted! You can have them if you want them still.
