Epaulette and Grey bamboo cuddling pics

Found them cuddling in the rockwork earlier today. Actually, the Grey (male) was trying to force the Epaulette (female) out of 'his' spot to hide. She is usually down lower in the display. She's been the dominant shark of the group (Eppie, grey and white spotted bamboos) for two years. He is the male Grey I introduced to breed with the female Grey. He's still learning his place in the grand scheme of sharks in there. Haha






Epaulette yawning.

Not a chance.

I have several breeding pairs of vairous species. They go for the same species only, even in a mixed display. I want to preserve the genetics of the animals. The blood lines are too important on rare sharks to cloud up the DNA with hybrids. FW stingrays are a great example of how fast 'muts' can contaminate the lines and cause problems.


Thread about grey bamboo (Chiloscyllium griseum) breeding:

That sounds like a very good thing to do.

Was in for a little hand feeding today. Make sure everyone gets their weekly vitamin supplement.
