The RED List of Fish, Inverts, and Corals

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Great idea and Im sure I can think of a few fish for the list although I have to say that the Bamboo shark would be much better on the Yellow list...or IMO not there at all.

They are quite easy to keep if you have a large enough tank or pond.

Also there are many species of Bamboo and only one I believe gets close to 4' (Chiloscyllium punctatum)...although I can think of one more that may also get close most species stay well under 3'. Grey Bamboo sharks for example reach a max of 2.5' and often much less. The very common White Spotted Bamboo is about 32" max.

These are just not unmanageable fish and the best suited to aquariums from the shark family. Any of the reasonable sized bottom dwelling sharks live good lives in the right sized tank. They are just not the most active sharks.

The other problem I have with them being on this list is that the White Spotted Bamboos are mostly all captive bred now. We need more of this in the hobby.
