Im plaining to built a 450g Fish only tank, and i would live to get a bonnethead shark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnethead) for that tank...

What you think?? The measures are 80inch - 40inch - 32inch.

Im sorry but no that tank is far from being large enough for a free swiming shark such as a bonnethead.. why not look at some botton dwelling species such as bamboo sharks and cat sharks

Botton dwelling sharks are not active... Which measures you think i need to get this shark??

You won't be able to house an adult bonnethead in less than around a 12,000 gallon tank, unless it is a shallow, circular tank...then you *might* get by with around 7000 gallons.
