[nicken]

is it easy to hatch it ? saw one in a LFS before but i nvr see it hatch b4

[Lester]

hi

i think normal it take 3-4 months to hatch

anyway i first time keep also ... hehe not veri sure

cheers

[decentkid]

hatched one before...took a month...u can judge how long by seeing the size of the yolk...but mine died after a month...a fault on my part

[Lester]

hmmm

wat happen ????

[weishun]

Yah.. mind if you tell us on how it died? So we can learn from your mistake while hatching the egg?

[Ian]

Mine took about 3 weeks but depends on the size of the egg you got.

I've been keeping mine one and a half year now. Very interesting fish to keep. Does not disturb your corals and other live stock. Eats very well and very lively during feeding time.

He also plays well with my spotted ray.

Just to let you know they are blind.

hi bro ..

does it eat other fishes or crabs , shrimps or snails ???

[LoReNsIa]

dude.. it hard to rear hor.. i try be4.. in my tank for a month,, but after tt it still die.. it don eat thing.. den it will eat ur shrimp...

[Ian]

All my fishes and prawns are still around. I feed it with silver fish or prawns. I use a long stick to feed it. Once you feed them well they do not bother with my other fishes.

hi guys ...

lastest update on my shark egg

the little feelow seems to grow abit bigger ( by 1 cm).. starting to move around more often from wat i see ....

i move the egg to my sump which is darker cos someone told me that it is better to leave the egg in darkness and they form more faster as it happen in the wild ( dunno if it is truth ).. anyway decided to try ...

do correct me if i am wrong ...

[Lester]

today est is around 8-9 cm liao ....
