The Bamboo Shark fish is also known as Brown-spotted catshark, grey carpet shark, spotted catshark. The Bamboo Shark fish is brown spotted cat shark that grows up to 4 feet in length, hence, can be kept in an aquarium of size 180 gallons. We suggest to introduce sand instead of gravel or crushed coral as these can be very annoying to the shark's belly and can make it uncomfortable. The sand bed should be at least 2 inches deep that helps it to burrow inside. The Bamboo Shark fish requires enough space so that your shark can swim easily without obstructions. The Bamboo Shark fish is carnivorous species that consumes food in huge amount and end up releasing nitrogenous waste in large amount, so we advise you to maintain regular filtration in the aquarium. . Standard T-12 or T-5 fluorescent lights should be used to illuminate the aquarium. The Bamboo Shark fish should be given with a diet of whole food items including animals that are not been prepared, processed, cleaned, gutted etc. like fish, crustaceans, squid, octopus and mussels. All frozen food should be properly soaked within a quality vitamin supplement prior to feed for its continued good health.
