The Bamboo Shark fish is also known as Brown-spotted catshark, grey carpet shark, spotted catshark. The Bamboo Shark fish is brown spotted cat shark that grows up to 4 feet in length, hence, can be kept in an aquarium that's at least 200 gallons, but thrives in larger tanks. We suggest to introduce sand instead of gravel or crushed coral as these can be very annoying to the shark's belly and can make it uncomfortable. The sand bed should be at least 2-4 inches deep to allow it to burrow.

The Bamboo Shark fish requires enough space so that your shark can swim easily without obstructions. It's a carnivorous species that consumes food in large amounts and ends up releasing waste in large amount, so we advise you to maintain regular water changes and powerful filtration in the aquarium. The Bamboo Shark should be given with a diet of whole food items including animals that are not been prepared, processed, cleaned, gutted etc. like fish, crustaceans, squid, octopus and mussels. All frozen food should be properly soaked within a quality vitamin supplement prior to feed for its continued good health.
