Embreo location for banded cat shark

[Tfain]

Just got him and was wondering where the Embreo is located

 

[slitherbomb]

What do you mean by embryo? It's all inside the egg..

 

[Tfain]

I know that but where. I can't find it

 

[slitherbomb]

Well here's a pic of my egg about a month ago
You can scrape the side of the egg gently to reveal the baby shark.

I looked at his little feeding sack was gone. Is he ok to hatch?

 

[slitherbomb]

If its completely gone then it will probably hatch soon. Don't try to open the egg. It will come out on its own. Btw, how big of a tank is it in?

 

[Tfain]

Right now a 30 gallon but I have a 180 gallon that will be up and running working a few weeks

 

[slitherbomb]

Ok that's cool. Make sure to start trying to get it to eat as soon as possible!

 

[Tfain]

Ok thanks. Do you know how to encourage him to eat. I heard sometimes they'll practically starve before they eat

 

[slitherbomb]

Try live saltwater feeder shrimp first then try getting squid, silversides, and shrimp. That's what I've read at least. I still haven't gone through that ordeal yet haha
