Default I've inherited the Marbled Cat Sharks

Evening everyone. I inherited the cat sharks in the previous post I had put up. My buddy decided that he was in over his head on this and wanted the best for the sharks. I have 2 of the 4 now along with (2) banded shark eggs. They are in a 75G I had laying around. Anyway, I know this is not really a shark forum, but I trust everyone here with the advice given.

The sharks were fed Sunday night about 2 full shrimps a piece. I fed them again tonight and they each ate 1 silverside. Not sure how much they eat at a time. Trying to learn as much as possible so these guys have the best chance possible. I am in the process of also designing a custom tank for them to be in that will be large enough for them for there entire life. Any advise on these is helpful. I did order scott michaels sharks and rays book yesterday to learn more. Thank you all in advance again.

Todd

Hey Todd! Did you put on your life preserver when you jumped into this hobby! LOL

I don't really know much about sharks but, thought I would drop you a line anyways! I am glad they made it from your last post...Good Luck!

I have always thought sharks were beautiful creatures! I would just be scared of getting bitten!

That was weird...I tabbed down and it posted the little bit I typed...oh well.

I too have always thought that sharks were beautiful. I even had a tattoo done of one that I had drawn years and years ago.

I always wanted to have one, just was not planning on doing it this way, but things happen for a reason so I am going with it and trying to make the best of it. These guys are so small I don't think they could hurt you if they did bite Birdlady. I don't want to find out though either.

They seem to be doing ok with the journey they have been through. It was a stressful one I'm sure.

If anyone does have some info on these guys, it would be appreciated.

Thanks Birdlady for the support.

Todd
