#future aquarium

[spidermilkshake]

I want to ask for the future--is the Petco "1$ per gallon" tank sale over winter even worth it? Are the base tanks they're selling built even good? I'd generally not want to bother giving money to an aquatics shitstain like Petco or Petsmart, but do they offer like a 30 gallon from a decent maker for $30 or so that will allow me to have that bigger tank that won't LEAK... or won't be toxic to fishes and inverts? I'm leery but tempted. I would much rather settle for like... a better 25-ish gallon that doesn't support them and is better overall, and definitely would want a 30 gallon for the regular sale price of the Petco BS if it was decent.

Bamboo Shark (Chiloscyllium punctatum)

A shark ideal to being kept in private aquariums, they grow to 48"/121 cm and are sluggish fish, which feed off bottom dwelling invertebrates and smaller fish. Their natural habitats are tidepools, coral beds, and around boulders and adapt better to home aquaria compared to other species.
