Got a couple of new kids for the pool and some updated pics of the old guys

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Okay - the mystery shark - is definitely a Carcharhinid.

But based on fin morphology - it's not a Sandbar or one of the reef sharks (Blacktip, Grey, or Caribbean).

If I were to guess - I would go with Finetooth.
 
Not trying to preach only curious as to where they are to be eventually housed. Sounds like a plan and hope it does come to be. Already having a very large lagoon of the size you quoted, I am tell you that it did not happen over night. It took over four months for mine to be built not to mention cycling time and working all the bugs that always come with new construction.

No it's not a grey reef. I wish!!! Right now they are in an 18' pool and soon to be going in a 33'x18' pool. My end plan for them is to build them 50'x50' pool or something in that ball park. Figure 2500 square feet should be fine. I feel that I am doing a good job with these guyS and I have also had a very well respected member here see it in person and he said everything looked good. I gladly take advise and am willing to learn but please don't preach.

FYI i think the sharks seem much larger that they cause of the convex window. Only the large white tip is over 3 feet.


it was right there on the second page...:screwy:

Hey thats cool! I will have the 33x18 up by spring and for the larger setup I planed on doing it over a couple of years. So I know it will take awhile.

Ken and Jabba are both in the ball park. lets wait for zoo to take a stab at it then I will tell you guys.:popcorn:
 
UPDATE!
I got the mystery shark eating tonight. Thats a load off my shoulders. Now I can sleep well tonight.lol
 
nope. Your all in the right ocean. Most public aquariums don't even have these. I have only seen them in NJ aquarium.
