which fish in which tank

[agreeive?fish]

I am temporarly tearing down my tanks to move them(home remodle). So i figured this would be the time to move fish around.

Tanks

200g..7 foot x 2 foot

210g..6 foot x 2 foot

175g..bow front..6 ft x 2 ft widest point...6 ft x 18 in narrow point

current fish

bamboo shark
v. lion
s/s puffer
dogface puffer
harliquin tusk
sailfin tang
panther grouper
scat...(full marine)
columbian sharks (3) (full marine)
enginer golbies (6)

wanted fish
small ray (maybe)
a couple large angles..(not decided on which ones)
some dwarf angle ( not decided on which)
blue tang( hipo or powder)
yellow tang
purple tang
black/white henni (3)
silver fox face

would like inverts in 1 tank...not sure if my current stock/futre stock will allow inverts though...no corals just live rock and shallow sand bed

looking for sugestions of which fish you would put in which tank

SEA HORSE/ MANDRIN tank is not getting moved or restocked
fresh water tank is staying with the same fish after home remodle

well,i did some quick research and....Although sold as a freshwater catfish, the Colombian shark is best suited for the Brackish aquarium. Like most Brackish species, the young are more tolerant of water conditions than the adults. The water should have some sea salt added and measure a salinity of 1.005 to 1.015<--------------not a true saltwater animals(brackish).
bamboo sharks can get 40 or so inches,i think i have seen these things at the fish store before,not a very attrative animal to have in a too small of tank.......period,it doesnt look right when the animal(fish or shark) is freakin a third of the length of the tank.just my thoughts.brackish in one tank,colombo sharks in another,and the rest of what you (should) have in another.not so sure about all the fish you still want,just seems like a lot of life and not enough space.im not trying to talk sh*t here,you asked,so i told(my opinions)

I tend to side with him as well, I see several specimens I wouldn't add to any of those tanks. The smallest species of catshark still gets 2 ft across, and with a tank only 2 ft wide, going to make life difficult and uncomfortable for him.

If you really want to enjoy your shark that you already have, and maybe a few rays you will need to upgrade to at least a 500g+ round aquarium with an all sand bottom (no rock in the main tank). That would be the bare minimum IMO for a happy shark.

I intend on building an 11 foot long x 4foot wide x 3 (or 4) foot high plywood /plexi glass tank when i convert my gradge into a family room this winter...for the shark and possible ray..

i would love to do it now but wife says i have to do the kitchen dinning rooom and living room first before i can build (or get ) another fish tank..dam kitchen cabinates are expensive..i could by my shark tank coustom made cheaper than her darn cabinates are costing me
