Sharks!!!

[JGHA]

Hi everyone,
I've kept several species of sharks before successfully, including leopard smoothound bamboo and others in only fish tanks. My question is has any one here has kept swimming species of sharks like the smoothound and the leopard in reef tanks, if yes could you please tell me about your experience and if rocks and corals were a big problem in your situation. Thanks everyone, hope to hear something soon.

ive taken care of smoothhounds in a 240 with reef like rock setup and it did fine, every once and a while id hide krill in the rocks and let him find it. he seemed to really enjoy it, but just a heads up this thread will soon be dominated by post about how its wrong to keep them lol. but if its not heavy on the deco. then it should be fine

Ok thanks for sharing your experience I will still wait to see what others say in how they've done and thanks for the head up.Lol

and he would rub his nose raw on the coners when we had alot of bug fish it there so i think overcrowding would be out with open water sharks, ya and this sharks were gone in under 5 months so i dont know what the long term of these guys in a reef is i just know that they were very happy and healthy for 5 months
