shark care(updated!!)

yeah were completely aware, compared to the price of the house this is just a tiny little project. do you think all this stock list will work? feel free to voice your opinion on it.

 

nd less fish, im thinking 2 black tips, 3 bamboos 1 port jackson and a bonehead. and some other smaller fish and rays and such.

---lol....how big is this tank? like 25k gallons?black tip is a big shark....

 

its almost 4 thousand gallons. black tips usually only reach about 4 feet max in captivity. i was told by many people 3 would be a good number.

 

lol I would hope so.. Its a house. I really doubt anyone could tell you if ALL of them will work, as no one has ever had a tank like that here.. To my knowledge at least. I think you could add a few fish at a time, and if all is well in a few weeks, add some more and so on and so forth..

 

haha yeah we are deinitely not adding all the fish at the same time. only the sharks and rays are going in first to avoid aggression.

 

on second thought should they all go in last?

 

I would think you should add the more aggressive sharks later..

 

I.E. the black tips..

 

ill add like half of the fish with the rays and bamboos. then add the black tips.along with the rest of the fish several months later?

 

Yeahh thats probably your best bet. Black tips are pretty vicious SOBs. At least in the wild I know.. They bump at me alllll the time when I'm fishing. Thats about when I get up outta the water haha. I've seen some in large tanks.. not sure on the exact gallon size. But they were housed with a few unicorn tangs, groupers, rays, and a moray. They were always fine when I saw them. Just be sure to not let those boys get hungry.. haha. Needless to say..
