As big as you can. They get to like 20". As adults you'd need a monster tank I'm sure..
You may already know this but they are brackish fish as juvies and full saltwater as they get bigger. Pet stores usually have them in freshwater so they'll need to be acclimated to brackish after you get them.

I kept mine in an 80g until they were 5" and I gave them away. Seems like they'd have been ok in that until they were 8-10~" then should've been moved to something longer and wider like a 125g.

1. Not one of the best choices in aquarium fish the Columbian shark is becoming more common in the trade. Freshwater when young and Brackish when mature the Columbian shark can reach a length of Two feet, although one foot is more the norm.

They are a beautiful fish but like mentioned, widely misinterpretted. They will need to be weaned into a brackish environment from the time you get them or their lives will be drastically cut short.
