I think they get about 2 feet long, so I wouldn't suggest putting on in a tank unless its 10 feet long.

5,000 gallon tank.

If that first listing is correct, and it gets to 4'....300 gallons is WAY too small!

lol i copy pasted that info from an online vendors website, it dont make sense 4ft only 300 gal. maybe they meant to say 3000.

It looks kinda like liveaquaria's screen info. Sometimes the online vendors put "minimum" tank sized based on "starting" minimum...not full grown. I've seen some of those sharks listed as minimum size 180-200 gallons, even with a full grown size of 30". Crazy!
