care for a horn shark?

[evil wizard]

i bought a book at the book fair about tanked with 25 of the tanks they have made.i saw a pic pf one and i thought i would be cool to have as a pet when i am a adult with a locked income.
so what would be the tank size and how big do they grow.the book said 3 feet but i would think i bit smaller.would a thousand gallon work?and how much food would be ok for a fully grown one?i would think a bag of frozen shrimp or 2 bags and a bag of frozen saltwater

fish like tilapia

The biggest problem with horn sharks is that they are a cold water fish. They can tolerate water up into the high 70's/low 80's for short periods but really do best around the low 60's. This means a chiller is involved in order to keep it cool. They can be kept in tanks as small as 250 gallons but they need to be square tanks with plenty of swimming room. Circular tanks are better since they won't get stuck in corners that way.
