COOL! How hard are sharks to keep?

I have a banded bamboo shark, he is over 3 ft long and has been extremely hardy through some tough tank situations. The only thing that harms them really is copper, no one at my LFS mentioned that when I medicated my tank and he does seem to bite around food more than at the food but he eats plenty, they love squid and pretty much anything else. He has not attacked any of my fish. he did bite my eels tail once but it was right next to food. the only problem I would say is that one side of my tank has no sand on the edge due to the sharks digging it up over there and he is big enough that he will move rocks when food is stuck in between rocks. but anyways he is awesome and has been very easy.

I have never had a shark but go to www.grimreefers.com. They have a shark forum. I have heard that they are hard to get eating. HTH.

EDITED: Sorry I didnt see you had a file on it.

Oh wow...Don't sharks eventially get to 5 - 6 ft or something? But that shark is cool!

Not all sharks get that big. While others can grow to seven times that size.

Hatched the same shark about 4 years ago.

Just an FYI - I found that if you held food (meaty foods like krill, squid, etc) right near him and sort of moved it around, he went for it. Otherwise, he wouldn't go out of his way to find food. He'd go a little crazy, swimiming back and forth on the bottom if he smelt it - but, wouldn't eat until I placed it right in front of his face.

Good luck with him. Cool looking fish.

 

[badfish]

just wondering, how bid is your tank?

 

[ZoozFishMaster]

Feed him extra heavily while he is young. Krill, squid, mysid shrimp, live ghost shrimp, anything he will take. Remember, they get absolutely HUGE and will add a tremendous amount to your bioload.

They are fairly docile and should not be placed with aggressive fish such as triggers.

Whee... finally the little sharky is starting to eat... finally a big load off my mind.. thought it won't make it cos for the past two days it ate veri little.. 1 little ghost shrimp ONLY !!.. came home after kopi session with friends today and saw this little fellow swimming around the tank. took a ghost shrimp and tried feeding once more.. it ate!!! Then i reach for another.. It began chasing it..and within a few seconds ..the ghost shrimp is history..

notice it stomach..took my DC and snap a shot of it

Indeed sharks are more active at night. and sleep in the day. it began chasing my camel shrimp round the tank.But the camel is just too big for him now Think little sharky is training it sense of smell and other senses.

now awaiting the other to venture out too ..
Cheers

Hi guys ...

some updates on little sharky part 2..

Decided to attempt feeding for little sharky part 2 even though it is still veri rich from it's york.. and it stomach is is as big as before.

Took a slightly less than 1cm tiny life ghost shrimp and placed it near it mouth.. little sharky took awhile before it took its first bite.. it just bite on to it. swim for a while before the ghost shrimp gave a kick and free it self from the cluthes of sharky part2.

it seems that little sharky part 2 teeth is still not that strong yet and can't chew the shrimp.. but still quite happen that it is delevoping it instinct on feeding.. Will attemp feeding agian tonight

as for the run away shrimp.. it's freedom didn't last more than a min.. came big little sharky which knock out him from behind .. it a easy job for big little sharky.. no kick

:shark

Cheers

 

[Lester]

SAY CHEEZE ......................
