Not to be rude but, PLEASE...do us all a HUGE favor and stop giving advice until you have proper experiance with sharks. Last time I checked, you not only have never owned a shark/ray but you dont even have a saltwater fish tank.

Bamboo Sharks will reach lengths close to 48", in the home aquaria...it is VERY, VERY common for them to max out 40" - 46" for both males and females, respectively.

Anyone can read a book and look at a few pages online and quote advice, as you do...it takes someone who's kept sharks and has quite a bit of experiance with them, before you should be giving other people starting advice.
