I'm assuming it's not the grey nurse shark! Slighty too big for the aquarium! Grey Nurse Shark

WOW

i thought some one on this forum got 2 nursing sharks some time ago? i'v read that in wild they school...in packs up to 30..hate to see those guys coming at you when your scuba diving..

WOW indeed

Sadly, all too many stores will sell on a nurse shark, despite them getting far too large for all but the richest and most dedicated of private aquarists to keep.

That's more commonly known as a Sand Tiger shark. Those I believe are illegal to keep privately and grow far too large for anyone who doesn't own a public aquarium.

they also had some other big species , they were almost as big as that other shark was...they were slimmer with tiger markings( i think they were also another species of sharks , like the leopard shark I guess)...the funny part , those big fishes were not in a big tank but in a makeshift tank , like the floor of the store was the bottom , which still had tiles...lol and then they built like walls on both endz of the makeshift tank...u can put ur hands in it and touch them , which i did

Sounds like another case of Red Tail shark syndrome

Gorgeous fish but just too big and unfair to keep them

Red Tailed Sharks get to maybe 6" but Red Tailed Catfish can reach 4' (size of a child) which I think is what you meant.
