Hello everyone, I would like to document my shark egg hatching experience as well as open it up to suggestions.
The tank that I plan to keep it in is a 110 gallon stock tank. Although that may seem too small for a 30+ inch shark, the actual dimensions are around 5' x 2.5', which should be perfect for this size shark. If, however, it outgrows the stock tank, it will be moved to a larger 300 gallon stock tank. The tank is located in my outdoor greenhouse and you can check out this link to learn more about my setup: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/sdreefers-coral-greenhouse-project.325189/
I acclimated the egg using the drip method for around an hour and a half. I decided to use a fish breeder box to keep it safe until it hatches. Before I placed the egg into the breeder box, I lit it with a flashlight to see the baby shark inside.
If anyone has experience keeping sharks, hatching shark eggs, or getting newborns to feed, any help would be appreciated. Otherwise, I plan to update this thread at least once every week to document what's happening.
