Shark

[J33ps]

Yes mine is 6 month to a year old and I've been told by many people to use squid most fish stores that have sharks around here tell me to use squid

 

[J33ps]

What would you use

 

[Innovator]

I keep small sharks, rays, and other marine life for a living (in case you wonder of my exp. ). At birth earthworms, black worms, frozen mysis, and ghost shrimp. If I must force-feed it's usually a carnivore diet (like canned dog food). As juvies/adults I feed capelin, shrimp, silversides, squid heads/tentacles, shrimp, and sometimes herring. Sharks can be picky and their tastes as juvies can change as they age. They get a different food item every feeding, at least 3 times weekly.

Can I see some of your rays and sharks

 

[Innovator]

I can't post them since I work for a public aquarium and against regulation. The sharks (spotted bamboo, brown bamboo, epaulettes, smoothhounds, and blacktip) look like any other. There isn't much varied differences within species.

 

[J33ps]

No just size right

 

[Innovator]

They all have their own quirks and some kind of distinguishable markings, but a bamboo is a bamboo, a coral catshark is just that, and a blacktip will always be a blacktip regardless of whom owns it

 

[Robbiesamp]

Ok where do you work that's what I want to do when I graduate

 

[J33ps]

And the size of them are different

 

[Robbiesamp]

Yea that's true

 

[J33ps]

That's why I went with the marble it's the smallest shark you can really get.

 

[Robbiesamp]

I thought that the epaulette shark was

 

[J33ps]

I should say in captivity marble will only get 24 in

 

[Robbiesamp]

That's good when mine does hatch will it still have the sack on it

 

[J33ps]

Mine didn't when I did the egg

 

[Robbiesamp]

Ok is it bad if it does when it comes out

 

[J33ps]

Normally means he's not ready

 

[Robbiesamp]

O ok that makes sense

 

[J33ps]

When the sack is going is when he's normally ready to brake the egg open

 

[Robbiesamp]

Ok thats cool
