Good... btw.. cool name and sex

Cartman89 · 06-16-2006, 01:25 PM

. Wow, did I just say the shark was a female?? Well I just notice 2 very very VERY small calspers on the shark (I mean small!) when he was up against the glass. Looks like I have a male. The lil guys name will still be Mako.

Cartman89 · 06-17-2006, 12:00 PM

Well little Mako ate 2 pieces of squid last night

!! He was easier to get to eat then my lion. I have some more pics of him.

I wanna try this... So Sweet!

Cartman89 · 06-17-2006, 12:35 PM

Yeah it's pretty easy. They adapt very well if hatched.

billyr98 · 06-17-2006, 12:37 PM

are they in a reef tank or another tank by themselves?

Not sure what you mean. If you mean is he in a reef tank or tank just by himself he's in neither. He is in a tank with a few rocks on each side of the tank, the middle section is open. He's in a FOWLR tank.

billyr98 · 06-17-2006, 02:25 PM

ok.. thats what I wanted to know...

MarbleShark · 06-26-2006, 05:08 PM

What is the min size tank for a shark like that? Would a 55 be ok?

Cartman89 · 06-26-2006, 05:13 PM

No, a 55 gal is NOT ok for this shark. A minimum tank size I would say is 200gal. I have mine in a 125gal but it's not for his whole life, just a year.

A year or sooner

Cartman89 · 06-26-2006, 05:27 PM

I could actully keep him in the tank for more than a year depending on diet, temperature, and water quality. But he will only be staying for a year, untill next summer.
