Questions On The Silver-Tip Shark(Catfish)

[Zfishies]

Hey guys i got a question on the Silver Tip Shark, i plan on putting 2 of these guys in my 300 gallon pond(hope they get to "14 inches) so my question, can i feed these guys pellets and put in some Rosy Red feeders??? So they can eat both, snack on the Rosey Reds if there hungrey. Would this affect there growing rate? When i buy them they'll be probley "3 inches, so they'll have PLENTY of room to grow. So then this kinda takes me to the question, wait on the feeders?? And how many(Rosey Reds) should i put in for them to snack on...and how do you sex one?? so i could have one female and one male in the pond. Thanks!!!

silver tip shark is a generic term, but i believe they are brackish, and get of medium size

i just purchased one of these guys my self. Sexing it not going to be east first do research on shark breeding behavior. make sure you have the proper habitat for them to breed. The anal fin usually has something to do with sex males have a more dominant anal fin. But blood worms is a great way to grow fast lots of protein beef hearts shrimp

will need marine or possibly high level brackish water for the long term
