Marbled Cat Shark care

[Fin-up reefing]

This little guy hatched yesterday and he's already eating silversides! I just need to know about some people's experiences with these guys or sharks in general.. Anything I should know?? Any special procedures?

Following this thread, I also just had a marbled cat shark hatch. He is already eating as well! Are these guys blind for the first period of their lives? How long until they start swimming around the tank a little bit more? Currently he is hiding in caves most of the time. I'm also curious how fast the growth rate is

@dantimdad may be able to share his experiences, as he has owned a few sharks over the years.

Other than make sure you have a very large vessel for it to grow up in and a really good filtration system, they are pretty easy once they eat a variety of foods. If they only eat one, they will wither away.

Try squid, scallops and octopus. Also small chunks of roughy worked for me.

I will be getting a pair of white spots in the next few months.

I missed my sharks and have plenty of room in the new store so I decided to dive back in with a 625 pool.
