well its been almost 12 hours and hes moved about a foot not even , and he doesn't do anything else, hes not a young shark hes about a foot maybe a little under but he looks good no problems other then the red spot at the back of his tail..

They don't move all that much. I'd probably stop looking. He'll move he he's ready

i know but blaah i dont know if its just me but dont u wish sometimes you have an actual swimming shark aha !

Actually marbled catsharks tend to be more active at night(after the lights are off), and during feeding. Then they tend to be quite active.

 

[Zoodiver]

Yup, they're very active at night and when hunting. They're also pack hunters, so once one starts going, they all join in.

 

[kasaki89]

so will they ever move if the lights are on ?

 

[Comatose]

Get some moon lights and you'll see him swim around at night. Beyond that they really only come out in the day when it's feeding time.

well how my tank is setup is , theres two caves at the opposite sides of the tank , and hes just laying in the middle of the sand wheres theres open sand chillen ,
soo should i place him inside the cave . and how can i enhance his food making him want it and to give it more protein at the same time? i was thinkin about buying emerald crabs and giving that a good and impaling the food and seeing how that goes?
