I need help

im thinking of buying a shark what kind and how big should the tank be:rollface: :rollface: :smokin: :smokin:

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

Depends on the species.

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

I highly suggest doing tons of research before taking the plunge in this hobby. Set yourself up a small saltwater tank first, maybe 55g or so, and keep normal fish first, just to get used to saltwater aquariums. After you've done that, then you can get your try sharks.

thanks i think i will buy a clown fish and a 12g tank

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

Good start.

 

[killershark4560]

thanks should i get more than 1 or just buy 1

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

In that size tank, I would only do 1.

I'm actually getting ready to sell my 75g if you're interested.

ok um how much

if SWG is not local to you, try craigslist for used tanks and equipment. I wouldn't start with anything less than a 20 or 29 gallon tank. 55 would be even better. Get or borrow "New Marine Aquarium" by Mike Paletta. Species research on www.wetwebmedia.com, here for questions.

Craigslist doesnt work i say live aquria

 

[LisaD]

what do you mean craigslist doesn't work?

liveaquaria/fosters and smith is a good store, but doesn't sell used equipment. if you want a tank, I wouldn't get it mail order. for a beginner saltwater set-up you could try your local fish store, petsmart/petco, reef/marine club, want ads, garage sales, and www.craigslist.com
