Banded shark egg advise needed

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a banded shark egg from a LFS and have placed it in my tank hanging upright. It is still in its early stage as I can only see the embryos.

I understand after some researching online that it take about 130days to hatch.

Is there any other things I need to take note of like if I'm hanging it upright is ok for the embryos?

Water flow in the tank from wave maker? Should I leave the wave maker on?

I do see abit of a layer of whitish colour on the surface of the capsule. Is that normal?

Hope someone can advise me.

Have you observed how the LFS keep the shark egg ?

If i not wrong you got the egg from a LFS in the west :)

Maybe you can give the LFS owner a call and ask the care needed during the early stage.

The hardest part is to make the banded shark to eat when it hatched.

Do read up on the web during this period before it hatch.

Thanks bro carfyx

Yes I got it from a lfs in the west. Were you the one I was talking to in that shop at that time? haha

I saw how it was let lying on it's side at the shop. But I was told by the shop owner I can also hang it upright.

Anyway its 130 days to hatch so I still have some time to do more research online.

Thanks for your link you attached.
