Let me introduce myself.

Hi I'm new here as you can see but not new to the hobby. My first tank was a 55gal and what made me get into this hobby was eels! Right now I have a 125gal, I bought when we moved to Missouri from florida in July last year. I currently have a goldentail morray, V.Lion, and a very small and scared niger trigger. I also have a shark egg which should hatch soon, I don't see any yolk at all. Everyone in the tank are great they all get along and the trigger doesn't go for any of the snails or crabs.
What I have for filtration is a Aqua Medic Skimmer (up to 250gal), 2 powerheads, and a 30gal sump/fuge. I have had excellent water quality ever since I added the sump. Now before you start saying your gonna need a bigger tank for the shark, yes I do know that. I will be going to college next year and I have donated the shark to The Bass Pro shop Mall which has a saltwater aquarium. If anyone has any question about how to set-up aquariums or anything at all about aquariums I will be there to answer your question. And if AWEOD is here DON'T EVEN SAY A WORD TO ME. I will try to have recent pics of the tank up soon.

Re: Let me introduce myself.

My favorite lfs had a shar egg for a while. It was way fun to watch the shark grow inside the egg. He sold it though. Great for him, bummer for me. I wanted to see the shark after hatching.
Peace

The owner of the new Branson one said that the shark will likely be donated to the Springfield Shop.
