Baby shark

[TILE MAN]

Thanks for al the advice already looking for trough style 400 gallon stock tank for baby shark so I can set it up so when he is ready it will b ready for him probably can stay in the tank he is in for a couple month been doing water changes in his tank regularly got my fingers crossed hopefully it will work out if anybody else has any advice for me appreciate it very much

Any round tank/container would be great. I never like to see sharks in tanks with corners as I believe i read long time ago that the sensory mechanisms they have in the front are Extremely delicate and hitting those corners can damage them easily. Rounded tanks allow the fish to swim in a circular pattern helping the shark avoid making contact hard on the glass.

Following this adventure. Very cool...but you know what would make it better? Video of the little guy eating!

I will work on that for u brother always have my phone on me he is more active when lights r off it’s hard to c him but I have seen him eat like a champ

Can I ask what you have set up for your current filtration for him? Or what you are planning for his next upgraded tank?
