A 180 for a three footer is way undersized as they swim constantly and usually do better in a round tank.

they dont swim constantly they arent very active they usually sit there at the bottom of the tank
 
That is true as it is a Chiloscyllium and like the Ginglymostom they tend to bottom dwell. With good flow in richly oxygenated water they can remain inactive for long periods but they do tend to actively move about the bottom, especially at night.
 
Wow, someone is upset in here. Maybe I shouldn't mention that I just moved up my black tip reef shark up to my 35g from my 15g.
 
The shark keepers tend to feel they are often picked on, which is probably true. As I said, I have nothing against shark keepers. It is just that I think sharks can be a bad experience for the novice and a really bad experience for the shark,
