yet another nurse shark post

[armac]

well this has been a most interesting thread watchin the imitate a monkey and throw poop sometimes but for the most part very interesting dialogue to see.

I would add one thing that is really hard to reproduce from the wild with any fish would be diet.

I have often looked at the ingredients used in fish food and I wonder greatly at the wisdom of feeding fish grain based binders. More and more I am leading towards feeding real food to my fish, with high quality fish foods to supplement.

I think you meant to post in the purina fish food thread.........no?

Damn i want that shark, Mine looks nothing like that. Mine is more gray with small black spots.

You know there are several species of nurse sharks right?

And what does the one in the pic look like to you Matt?

 

[Zoodiver]

Brendon would have a better answer than I would. Tawny or short tail maybe? I know I've seen them before, just can't remember which of the Pacific species have the spots as pups.

Matt, do you know of a good website that would help identify?

 

[armac]

Your supplier is unsure of the species he is selling you?

Haven't asked. Wanted to see if someone on here go identify first. It'd be more fun....
