I BOUGHT a shark egg in october 09 and it hatched 4/1/10,now i tried feeding it chopped mussels and live shrimp and now frozen fish that i defrost first,he is about 6-7inches and seems settled in his hiding place,just cant get him too eat,any ideas on what to try or should i leave it a bit longer before trying to feed him and how many times a day or should i feed him at night.my water parameters are all fine.
 
first you really should have done research, but wait, u also should try feeding them at night, second, make sure they are small pieces so it can fit his mouth, also try adding garlic to the food, and you have to remember people have jobs type in the search box bamboo shark feeding it should help
 
they usually won't eat the first few days cuz they will have been full on the yolk sac when they came through the egg case

cheers guys i did do reserch but theres nothing like personal experience is there.

A+

look around this forum there are a couple of people that went through this same thing. I think im remember people having the most success with squid on a stick dabbed in garlic.
 
all i could get was prepared squid from the supermarket,so gonna defrost it and stick it on a skewer and try him
