Shark egg

[Coralczy]

So I posted this in the other forum I'm a member of to but want as much feedback as possible. I have a shark egg hanging in my frag tank. I have a 8 foot tank ready for him to move into after hatching. Thing is I know the real challenge is getting them to eat after they hatch. I have fine sand in my frag tank so I was thinking about taking everything out of the tank and keeping him in there until he gets use to taking food. Was also thinking about putting inserts in to round the corners. My frag tank sits right next to my chair so it makes it easy to keep a eye on the little guy. Was just wanting to know what others think. Thanks.

I think it sounds like you have it all figured out, now wheres the pics?

 

[N1Husker]

Yes, on the rounding of the corners. I learned that on "Tanked", otherwise they can bump their nose and it can lead to hurting the shark. I personally would leave him/her in the frag tank until he is eating food, a lot more control. Take that for what it's worth, just my opinion.

 

[Coralczy]

I am open to all opinions. Would rather have to much advice than not enough.

Rounded corners are only needed for requiem sharks and even that is not necessary. There is a member here who built a huge shark tank without rounded corners.

So I figured I would post a recent pic of my little shark in his egg.

So how long does it take to hatch?

That is super cool!

 

[Coralczy]

I figure since my shark was so small when I got him that it will be atleast another couple months until he is ready to come out.

So I'm use to having eels find there way to my house to live out there lives but tonight we are picking up a 8in bamboo shark to give a forever home to. Looks like I will have two sharks once my little egg hatches. Ill get a pic up tonight of the new guy when we get him home. Looks like ill be making plans soon to build a large shark tank for the unwanted. Lol

You will have to open the Coralczy Aquarium of Rainier and charge admission so you can afford to feed all of these critters.

You have no idea how right you are. Lol. We are already talking about setting up the 300g tote just for the sharks.

Wow, that's a big tote. I don't know if Rubbermaid makes a tote that big.

 

[Coralczy]

They sure do. I have one. Lol

 

[N1Husker]

WOW, I would hate to try and tote that baby around. Have fun and best of luck with your shark egg and new arrival.

 

[Coralczy]

Thank you. Lol....

So I caved and bought another shark egg today. Lol. With our plans of building a shark tank I figured it would be fun to hatch two of these little guys and enjoy them for their entire life span. The first egg is doing great and the little shark is growing like a weed. He's all banded and is slowly getting cramped inside the egg. Hopefully he will hatch out in the next month but being patient and letting nature do what it does.
