One of only a few sharks suited for the aquarium. However this does not mean they are simple to keep. A strict diet schedule must be kept in order for these to not grow to large to fast and eventually outgrow your aquarium. Even though it is a shark it still may have some enemies. Triggerfish, Puffers, and Angles my pick on this shark from time to time. |

The Whitespotted Bamboo Shark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum) belongs to the family named Hemiscyllidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 38.0 inches in length, the Whitespotted Bamboo Shark is generally passive 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. Chiloscyllium plagiosum should not be housed in a tank less than 180 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 and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
