    I've had the banded cat shark egg about two months now. Here is a picture of when I first got it, and one from tonight. I'm pretty excited since there seems to be no yoke left. I think it will hatch any day! I already have one and LOVE him.

    No, I keep them hung on the clip until they hatch. If I don't my stingrays like to knock the egg around.lol Once it hatches it just hangs out and I try to get it to eat. My other one ate really quick with no problems. It seriously started eating like 4 days after it hatched.

    Ya, I woulnd't recomend putting them in a small tank. Mine are currently in a 125 right now and do good since they're all babies. But that won't last long so my husband and I are currently looking into a 300 or 500 gal for them.

    what do you feed them when they hatch?

    that is sooo cool. I looked them up on live aquaria.. When I get a real job a shark tank might be way too cool..

    Oh wow, when I've seen them on LA I always assumed they were bigger since they are shark eggs. But the veggie clip puts a different perspective on them. Too cool!!

    Here's another pic from about a month ago. I was looking for this last night on my desktop but couldn't find it. Apparently it was on my laptop.lol Pretty crazy to see how it's grown.
    I feed them squid. Everyone in that tank goes crazy as soon as we put it in.
    Ya they're not big at all. I'm excited to see how they change color as they get bigger. Although I do wish they would stay black and white.
    haha No problem.
