Description: They prefer reefs and tide pools and are frequently found sitting in sandy areas on the ocean floor. Sharks should not be exposed to copper based medications as this will cause illness. Like all sharks, this one has the possibility of inflicting a very painful bite, especially when provoked. The Banded / Bamboo shark is referred to as a cat shark, because they have barbels on their mouth and these look like cat whiskers. Care should be taken when cleaning the display tank and feeding. Sharks tend to act aggressively toward other fish, particularly smaller ones. Be sure to house with larger, aggressive species
Minimum Tank Size: It stays relatively small, but requires at least a 180 gallon or larger aquarium as an adult. It requires sand as the substrate as the abdomen is easily scratched by a coarser substrate, which may lead to an infection. It should never be exposed to copper-based medications
Feeding and Diet: Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel
Reef Compatible: No

Company Details
It all started with a small aquarium in the year 2000 when I was 9. It was nothing short of a life-changing experience for me. The Turbo Snail was busy munching up the bad Algae on the glass of the aquarium; a Yellow Tang was busy grazing on one of the corals, a Sailfin chasing away competition, Percula Clowns sneaking up from their host Anemones! The aquarium had so much of color and life in it. Nothing stood still, and each one of the living beings went about their work, quietly and gently. It soon grew to be one of my greatest inspirations, leading me to pursue my passion for marine life and create a living out of it. And a day, here in Kolkata, I am ready to share all that I love and have learnt, with more people. Creating the awareness about this hobby was the biggest challenge that I faced, coupled with the quality of the live stocks that was sold in the market. I decided to create Marine World where quality imported live stocks and other accessories would be available at the best prices.
