Shark egg

I'm afraid you going to get nothing but criticism with this one.

A species tank that needs very little live rock, alot of filtration, oolitic sand if any, and preferably a tank without any corners, alot of flow to help the fish breath as they don't constantly swim, High concentration of dissolved oxygen.
 
Would it make you feel better if i told you it will be in a solitary tank of 125 gal?

It probably would have gone to someone incapable of careing for it?

I dunno ...im stuck with it now...

I LOVE IT!!!
 
if there somethink that i qill never have, is a shark. IMO if a reef tank need a lot of care a shark tank is double trouble. there are to many things to take in mind and care, and a 125 wont be enough.
 
We got some bamboo shark eggs by accident in our last shipment at the lfs I work at. It's going to be pretty amazing to see them hatch. But these suckers will grow really fast and they already have a home in a 300g predetory tank system being installed for a client right now.

I hope you know what you're getting yourself into.
 
It's one egg in a big tank....nothing else but inverts and LR.

Thank you for posting Kirei....btw your a good artist in pencil.(If thats your www)
 
Yes, one egg in a big tank...it hatches you know...then grows to a size well past what a 150 can fit (forget about house well)...It'll quickly add a huge bioload to your 'reef' tank...can't imagine the tank looking good with the high nutrient levels that will become inevitable...
I'd say take it back, if you can...it's not a good pet...unless it dies early...

I'm glad whales don't lay 'eggs' too...

d.
 
there will deffinatly be an add on the bio-load for sure and yeah the tank is a little small for an adult. the min size recomended by most vendors is around 180, so your not in to bad a shape. i would monitor your nutrient levels, keep up on your water changes and do some research into the care of the shark. they can be amazing if housed correctly and well taken care of so i wish you the best of luck. deffinatly get some pics along the way. just post them to a web album then link the pictures here so you dont have to deal with the size limit.
 
Thank you staticfishmonger,

I have a 500 gal in the works....just trying to find certain materials.I plan on transferring the animal when its large enough.

I'll keep the big fish ,small tank thing in mind.

Like everyone else, I want the best for my animals.
 
We get calls all the time about people wanting to bring in their sharks that have out grown their tanks. Keep in mind that most places (aquariums/zoos) will not take your animals that have out grown your current tanks.
 
What about when "zoos" and "aquariums" keep animals in cages too small for them?

Happens all the time......guess I'm just as bad as them.

Wont be able to post a pic till next week.sorry.

Forgot to mention

1:not in a 125 gal.---its a 150---wont be staying long---500 gal.
2:not a reef tank (assumption means....remember?)
3:strictly shark...maybe LR and inverts

hope that helps.
