remora shark

how big of a tank do these guys need? what do they eat? are they reef safe? and how much do they normally run?

 

Nemo , youg man ! lol
last week you were wanting moorish idols, now its a shark, two weeks ago ya wanted a 14,000 gallon reef .

Slow down' LOL , take it easy enjoy what you have now and make it prosper.
Focus on your "now tank" ok.

And leave the sharks, idols, and weird ones alone..lol

Theres no such thing as instant gratafication in this hobby' have some paitence and make your current tank
somthing to behold.

 

haha, thats what my mom says, lol, one of my freinds has one 17" and he said he give me him for 20 bucks, when the 135 is set up, so hahah.......i can never just settle with what i got ; /

 

Sharks are a huge PITA to keep man, I have a friend that owns a resteraunt (cowboy sharkies) so you can imagine he keeps sharks there, we have alot of issues with the tanks, really anything smaller than 200g and setup specificilly for them makes it even harder, I beleive the setup we're running on his is a 210g with a 40g fuge and 40g sump with a protein skimmer and a canister filter. It's impossible to keep a cleanup crew in the tank due to the shark eating them also, no shrimp, crabs or snails are safe in there

 

I dont know but I have cought some out here in the ocean and their pretty long.

 

I myself have never seen a remora shark . Do you mean a remora sucker fish ?

 

I think he mean a nurse shark, Ive seen them as long is 4 1/2 to 6 feet long while surfing

 

I saw a nurse shark up close and personnel when I was diving off Belize a few years back. Could have sworn that it was at least 6ft, though I guess these things look a lot bigger when you're that close

 

ha..ha no doubt! i had many close encounters, thank God I still have all my limbs, they still freak me out at 2500ft above sea level

 

Save the remora for the 14000 gallon tank. lol
