The Brownbanded Bamboo Shark (Chilloscyllium punctatum) is sometimes called a Black Banded Cat Shark. It belongs to the family named Hemiscyllidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 41.0 inches in length, the Brownbanded Bamboo Shark is aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Chilloscyllium punctatum should not be housed in a tank less than 250 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area, a fine substrate, a deep substrate, and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
