Shark Tank?

[Mr. Eel]

oh i missed that. What about the map puffer finn cole mentioned earlier will that one not eat eyes? Also would a lionfish work with the shark?

 

[FinnCole]

Why would the pufffer be a problem? I could see why the shark would eat the trigger, but puffer has defence and spines. Also what about a stars and stripes or reticulated puffer.

The puffer and trigger would attack the shark the shark would not harm the puffer

The only shark a map puffer could work with is a black tip and maybe a white tip but they get way to big for your tank a map puffer would not work with the shark you want they get 4 feet long

ok so far I have 1 shark 4 convicts a lionfish a bird wrasse an angelfish and a zebra moray eel.

That sounds pretty good for a start so questions:

Will the angel and the wrasse become food or is that just if the shark is very large?
Is it possible that I could get a pair of sharks because breeding would be awesome.

 

[alprazo]

Fish from the jack family and sometimes snappers are most commonly used as filler fish. Lookdowns as a staple of the typical mixed setup. With a ray, nothing that picks, angles, butterflies, puffers, etc. You need something that swallows it's food whole. Shark eyes are a favorite food of puffers and triggers

. Tangs a pickers and grazers too

 

[Mr. Eel]

would it positivley eat a wrasse and angelfish or there is a chance if the shark is small?

 

[Mr. Eel]

which fish are the jack family?

 

[alprazo]

Fish that graze will pick and bite at your shark causing injury and possible infection.

Lookdowns, pompano are good options for a tank that size

 

[Mr. Eel]

Neither of those fish are very appealing, both very bland and grey.
Would dwarf angels be ok or still pick at its eyes? And will 2 sharks get along or fight?

Discussing telost tankmates is like saying " what angel can I put in my reef? ". Some individuals will be fine, others of the same species will not. There is no simple answer. Even the safest fish can out compete your sharks for food. The best answer is to put your fish in another tank.[/QUOTE]

That is from the shark primer thread. I personally do not put fish with my sharks anymore

 

[Mr. Eel]

ok how about 2 of em together?

 

[alprazo]

Sharks and rays usually do very well together

 

[Mr. Eel]

Oh I meant 2 sharks, but thats good to know. How about 2 sharks?

 

[alprazo]

Yes, they do very well in pairs, trios, etc...

 

[Mr. Eel]

Ok so how does this sound, 2 sharks a ray 2 lions, and 4 clowns ( or is that too much bio for 337 with all filtration except for uv sterilizer

 

[alprazo]

The lions will probably eat your clowns before the sharks, but that is much better stock list. Gray carpets would be a good option for you.

 

[Mr. Eel]

could I get colorfull carpets like greens ( which are far cheaper than reds or blues )

 

[Mr. Eel]

Also what kinds of sharks do you suggest for this stock list and this size tank? The ray will be cortez.
