I still agree with the Canuck on this one. But whatever I say won't stop your determination so just know you are putting the life of two sharks in your hands. If they die you can't say we didn't try to warn you what you're getting into. Have fun and good luck.

So True.
Zebra Sharks - average about 7-8 ft long and can reportly reach 11 ft. They are nearly same size as the Nurse Shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum). So keep a pair of them for life - would require a tank/pond that is at least the size of large private swimming pool (800-1,000 sq.ft.).

And that seems small to me

You consider a fish that averages about 7-8 ft to be small? Then I would hate to see you idea of a large fish.

Keep in mind that the actual Leopard Shark (Triakis semifasciata), almost never exceeds 6 ft in length.

I think he was talking about the min. tank size you posted.

YES!!!

I always say anything under 10' adult size is just a feeder.
