The grey bamboo shark is a calm and interesting addition to my 120-gallon tank. It spends most of its time on the bottom near rocks and hides when startled. Water parameters have been stable since setup. I appreciate the detailed care notes included with the shipment.
Samantha Springer –
It’s a unique species that adds visual interest. I’ve had it for three months and it seems healthy. The size is within the expected range. I do need to monitor water parameters closely, though.

The shark appears active but not overly aggressive. I’m still learning how to maintain the right conditions. It’s not for small tanks or new aquarists. Overall, a good choice for experienced hobbyists.
