I dare say a 225 isnt even large enough to comfortable house an adult bamboo shark, and it's surely not large enough for the smoothhound. Sharks need large footprints to be kept long term. A bamboo shark can get over 42" long, the smoothhound over 60". If the tank isnt large enough for it to comfortably swim and turn around, it's too small. So for those fish, you're talking 6 foot tanks in each direction of the footprint.im debaiting on getting a smooth hound shark. i have a bamboo and was wondering if they are compatable as far as water temp etc....

Smoothhounds require slightly cooler temps for long term health. Water temps of 60 to 70 degrees would be prefered in addition to needing a larger tank.
smooth hounds are caught off the California Oregon coast so ya the temp is going to very from where its caught but it is also going to be a much cooler water temp than the bamboo.
