probably will need a good place to hide and i would suggest getting some bogwood for him to chew on too.

They don't grow that big, and they don't need bogwood although its always advisable to have it in a tank containg plecs. Bulldogs prefer cooler temps and high current, click here for info.
The shark could be an issue in a tank that size. |

They prefer cooler temps and don't withstand anything too warm for long. I've had 2 now and both died after a few weeks because of temp issues.

I bought one over the weekend myself and he/she is in my 29 gal., it stays about 78 to 80 degrees is this O.K. or is this still to warm for him.
