About the Sharks Family

Sharks are the ultimate predator for many enthusiasts, but only a few bottom-dwelling species like Bamboo Sharks are suitable for home aquariums. They require very large tanks with a soft sandy bottom to prevent scratching their bellies. They will eat any invertebrate or small fish that fits in their mouth.
