Marble cat shark

[rossco838]

One of my lfs has a 1 foot marble catshark in about a 50 gallon tank I feel so bad for it every time I am there..I've seen it since it was newborn. I'm thinking of "rescuing" it and putting it in my 220 (72x24x30) but I am unsure if it would be smart to do with my current live stock. Niger trigger, picasso trigger, porcupine puffer, stars and stripes puffer and a queen angel. The largest one right now is the s&s puffer at about 8 inches.. I do realize all these fish get big. I'm just "testing the waters" on this so to speak. Any input would be appreciated

By marble catshark I'm assuming your talking about a white spotted bamboo. Not only just about every fish you have is a bad tankmate for sharks(nipping galore) but the shark will reach 3ft.

Ok like I said I'm only asking..as bad as I feel for it I dont want to be in the situation of having to find a new home for it because it outgrew my tank. And yes a whitespotted bamboo shark is what it is

The other problem is that if the shark is bought it might lead to the LFS bringing in another. It may seem cruel but I would just let nature happen here.
