- On this episode of Aquapparel TV EFish shows us her grow out shark and stingray aquarium. This aquarium is used as a grow out aquarium. The sharks and stingray have grown out this aquarium and have only been in there for a year or so. The purpose of this video is to showcase some beautiful species while giving you an idea of how quickly you will need to upgrade if you plan on keeping these species. These species were moved shortly after into a pond. You can view the build of the pond and transfer of the species here: • Shark and Stingray Pond

Who's here after an IG post?
You can do either or. I choose this set up because it has worked for me in the past. This filtration system maintained all levels at 0. Hob and canisters can be used for both freshwater and saltwater. I would not recommend that anyone use these for a reef tank though. For the sharks and stingray it did great.
I really wish I had the sources to own one they look so cool and relaxing to see them swimming around etc....
They actually don't move too much at all. You are better off with a nice fish only tank if you are looking for something like that. :-)
I love 120s because of the dimensions.
great video!
LearningDaily Thanks :-)
Aquapparel you are welcome!
Hi, great video very informative! I have been looking into getting a blue spot stingray for my 600l aquarium I was wanting to know what are the best sites to research these fish? And are the rays wild caught? Thanks!
+Ben Hammal Thanks! From my experience they are mostly wild caught and they do not do very well in captivity. I have heard of them breeding but I'm not sure if there is currently a breeder with stock. If you are on FaceBook check out the Shark and Stingray Aquarists group, there are lots of experienced people in there that can point you in the right direction. There is also a husbandry guide that someone in the group can send you a link to. Thank you for caring and doing your research first. :-)
Nobody read the description they moved the fish to a pond shortly afterward. Still they looked happy and they said they were going moved them to a 320ft.
Please release another video updating the shark setup! :D
Martin Deacon We will soon :-)
I would recommend a minimum of 300 gallons. If the aquarium is too small they don't have enough room to swim around and water quality can become an issue. For the black and white shark are you referring to the Epaulette Shark or Coral Cat Shark like the one I have? Check out the pond build video on our channel that we did for my sharks and stingray.
fully grown how many gallons do they need i have a large brown banded cat and a black n white shark i forgot wat kind but how many gallons would they recommend they are in a one 10 and he needs a larger tank
Your sharks look great also! What size tank do you think I should need for him full grown
Tyler Johnson Thank you :-) For the Bamboo Shark at least 1,000 gallons. For the Coral Cat Shark at least 750. The Cortez Stingray would do well in a minimum of 450 with a lot of surface area for swimming.
TJ3 judging from my research and all I seem to have found that a 250 for the coral cat shark. A 350 to 400 for the bamboo and a 200 for the Cortez Ray.
I am looking to set up a tank like your first one. my tank is 6 foot long almost 3 foot tall and 2 foot wide. I also have a 2 emperior 400 filters. do I set it up like you would do any other saltwater tank?
+Mike Holla I don't recommend this type of set up as it was used as a temporary housing solution for these animals. For a tank that size, you will need a sump or a large biofilter of some kind. What are you planning on keeping in it?
Is it hard to clean
Amazing.but are they comfortable??
Yes, they were moved shortly after to a large, indoor pond.
whats the biggest tank u would ever need for a bamboo shark? and what other type of Sharks like a Bamboo shark you can keep in a Household let me kno plz thanks!
Hi Bryan, as you can see from the video, aquariums are generally not a suitable habitat to house this species for the duration of their lifespan. A pool measuring 8 feet in diameter can be suitable for a household depending on how many of these species you plan to keep. Remember that their maximum length is 3 and a half feet. Some can even reach around 4 feet in length when full grown. Do a Google search for 8 foot stock tank and that will give you a good starting point.
Why not a sump or refugium filtration? Why so little care towards the filtration. Hob and canister filters are for freshwater?
metlbrain you can use a canister just fine
what is the minumim of a tank for a coral cat shark when fully grown i have thought about 250 gallon for one coral cat shark
+Bruce Davidson IT depends on the dimensions of the tank. Ponds are much better because they offer more surface area. You can comfortably house 2 in the pond that I have with plenty of room. Look for the pond videos on my channel to check it out but make sure that you watch the update for better filtration. Also, make sure that you get a lid that allows for fresh air to get in like the green house roofing that I used.
Is it better to keep baby bamboo sharks from 150-180 gallon Until they outgrow I intend to keep bamboos in a 2000 gallon aquarium oR 300 Gallon so 150 or 180 are a better nursery tank?
The wider the tank the better for them. For a grow out 150 or 180 will work until they out grow it, which that species will pretty quickly. 2,000 gallons is an excellent size for a few. Just remember width is better than heigh so that they have a lot of room.
Wow! Where can you get stingrays as pets! I love stingrays :3
Yup, but they require a lot of care, a lot of room and a lot of fish keeping experience.
I can tell!
Your coral catshark is so active! i rarely seen mine.
Andrew Lucfr It's just because she was eating :-) They don't do much in general. Very chill sharks.
I never had a aquarium so im Kind curious. Do you have to do a waterchange? Isnt it enough to have a filter and all? What's the point of changing the water
Yes, to remove excess waste, keep the ph balanced and a whole other list of reasons. I would start with a basic aquarium if you have never had one before. I started with freshwater, then saltwater fish only and built by way up from there. There are tons of books out there that you can learn everything that you need to know before you start. I highly recommend reading up on both freshwater and saltwater before you make any purchases.
@@Aquapparel im not planing on getting a fish tank. I'm more of a reptile keeper. I was just interested.
Gotcha, yeah it's a lot of chemistry. What kind of reptiles do you keep? A few of my friends have Bearded Dragons and they are so cool!
Hey, I was just wondering at what temperature they're being kept at?
+Jorge Cicero Hi! The temperature was kept between 77 and 79. Same for the pond that they were transferred into.
Aquapparel isn’t 79 to high. 77 is perfect though
What gallon tank
All levels meaning Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate were at 0.
so far i have a 30 gallon, a 10 gallon, a 5 gallon, and two one gallon aquariums, i know not a lot but i'm only in my 2nd year of fish keeping and still learning but someday i hope to have a setup like this
Direwolfgirl Awesome! What species are you keeping?
breeding guppies with the 10 gallon and 5 gallon, the two one gallons are temporary tanks if any guppies are being bullied, and i still need to cycle my 30 gallon
Nice! Guppies are beautiful.
Cool
I have a few concerns regarding this setup .. yes I am sure the water quality is great ..but the size is not right what so ever ..yes it is technically fine for the next couple months, but that is it. As well, there isn't any places for these species to hide if need be. I just moved my 2 from a 160 bowfront to this 300 gallon pond. huge difference ua-cam.com/video/m2cf3jk9dxw/v-deo.html
Hi, all 3 were moved shortly after this video into a 300 gallon pond, here's the video: Shark and Stingray Pond I checked out your pond too and it looks awesome! The only thing is that when the shark gets bigger it will need more room. What kind of lights are you using in your pond?
Good to hear..what is scary is that many sites say a minimum size is 180 gallons ..way too small ..I have a pair of bamboos in there .. yes they are only in there for the next 16 months or so. I will be moving them to an 800 gallon pool afterwards. I am using 2 6500K compact flourescents and a 250watt 20000K metal halide.
Anders Holder Thanks :-) yeah I know :-/ The whole purpose of this video was to showcase the species and to show how big they get in such a short period of time. To grow out baby sharks and stingrays like we did in this aquarium works temporarily and provides a good environment for monitoring them while they grow. However, as a shark owner you know that they grow very quickly and that the most important thing is to have a suitable habitat ready to go for them for when they outgrown the aquarium. It's very refreshing to connect with other shark hobbyists like yourself who do the right thing :-) Where did you find the 800 gallon pool? What brand is it? Thanks for the lighting info. You don't see them in the pond video but we are using submersible LEDs that we mounted with coral glue to the sides of the pond and they work great. We will be posting a pond update video soon so stay tuned. We are now subscribed to your channel, looking forward to your updates. :-)
Are those airstones on the back wall?
Yes
How long does it take for them to get full grown and sexually mature? I know from my bamboo shark they have a growth spurt in the first year but just wondering what the growth is like after that to see where it’ll grow from there.
After the initial growth spurt they have another one at about a year where they thicken up a bit and by year 2 they are fully grown from what I have seen. You don't want to wait until that milestone to move them into the main tank though.
what sand did you use?
***** CaribSea Ocean Direct Caribbean Live Sand - Original Grade Substrate is the grain size that I used. You want a fine grain sand so that the sharks and the stingrays do not get irritated from a coarser substrate like crushed coral, etc.
Where did you buy you wall?
The background? At my local fish store.
Is it hard to take care of
Alexis Gass That depends on your level of experience and your set up. Remember that this aquarium is not for a long term habitat for these species.
Hi. do you know where I can get a cownose ray?
Living On Music Hi, Cownose Rays get very big and are not suitable for most home aquariums. They are found in very large systems, usually in public aquariums. What size system do you have?
how much amount of salt would you need to add in this saltwater aquarium. Or is this even a saltwater aquarium?
Yes it is a saltwater tank..I believe it is half a cup per gallon of water
ok thanks. :D
cheers
Are the sharks ever aggressive to each other?
Miss Saltwater tank Generally no but there have been a few times where they take food out of one another's mouths. It's good to have another system in case you need to separate them temporarily since breeding behavior can be aggressive at times.
Ooooooooh lah! I love every water ray and everything oh so fun about them ah!💞💖💞💖
What are the stingrays called? when I grow up I want to have a Black Tip Shark and one of those Stingrays at my home aquarium ( If I get one!)
ArmouredTiger The stingray is a Halleri or Cortez Stingray. Black Tips are not a great choice for a home aquarium as they are ram ventilators and require a lot of room. Check out some of the benthic species that are available instead. They are really cool and do much better than Black Tips in captivity.
Aquapparel I'm gonna make an 8x8 meter room for the Shark, I'm in Australia and Aussie Black tip Reef Sharks grow about 1,4 metres, so it will have plenty of room, and thanks for the advice :)
Aquapparel And I'm planning to become a Marine biologist when I grow up
ArmouredTiger That is a large tank :-) Yeah they are much smaller than our Black Tips. They are also a schooling shark. In general when it comes to home aquariums we don't recommend ram ventilators. Actually we now have an aquaculture facility and we still do not keep them. We stick with the benthic species of sharks.
ArmouredTiger That's awesome! :-)
Species only means one species if im not mistaken and the first mistake new stingray keepers make and get told about is not putting a guard on the heater to stop them getting burned.
Correct, I meant only sharks and rays or only sharks or only rays. And correct about the heater. I took this take down shortly after I moved the sharks and stingray into their new pond.
Full grown I'm just curious how big will their teeth be and how wide will their body be
Tyler Johnson Which species? The Bamboo Shark has small teeth and when full grown their body can get to be 6 to 7 inches wide. The Coral Cat Shark has small teeth as well and when full grown gets to be about 3 to 4 inches wide.
I know they can reach 37-40 inches
Aquapparel hi guys what is the adult full grown size of the coral cat shark?how fast they get to adult size?thanks a lot,hope you will read up my message. ...
What are the dimensions of your tank?
Tyler Johnson The tank was 48 x 28 x 28 I believe. It actually ended up breaking and luckily I noticed before it got really bad and was able to save the few fish an baby shark that was in it at the time. I only used this tank to grow out the sharks and stingrays which took less that a year. Check out the Shark and Stingray Pond video on this channel to see what they were upgraded to. BTW, we are going to be upgrading to a larger lagoon style pond soon since the pond is not really a good longer term solution for them either, so stay tuned.
i have a 175 gallon tank 6 ft long, can i get a cortez ray in that tank.
Julian Cramer What is the width of the tank?
Aquapparel i think he's tank cracked judging by the silence
Haha, I've been gone. It's 2 feet wide
Julian Cramer I would say it needs to be bigger. The pond that the sharks and rays in this video ended up in is 5 feet by 6 feet. We are upgrading to a larger set up soon too.
Does the stingray sting?
The Boey Nope :-) It's a defense mechanism that they use which works if they are being attacked from above. If they feel threatened then they will stick their tail up in order to defend themselves but as long as you treat them with respect you have nothing to worry about. They are actually pretty docile in general.
That’s like asking does a dog bite 🤦🏾♂️
I like your tank I have a coral catshark we are about to get a 180 gallon tank is that big enough. If you look at my profile you can find the video of it.
Tyler Johnson Hey Tyler! Thank you. A 180 gallon will be good for growing the Coral Cat Shark out but long term it will need a larger system. This aquarium was not a good long term solution so we made a 300 gallon pond which is good for now but eventually there will be an upgrade to a larger system. Your shark looks great btw :-)
👍👍👍😀😀💚👍💋🙂💜🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 süß Bambus shark fabled
Can you feed the stingray by hand?
+Apocalypse Cat Gamer (iApocCat) Yes, you just need to be careful and remember to respect the animal while you are trying to feed it. Once you form a bond with them it's pretty cool. :-)
Ok thnaks
I have seen people do it....not impossible but still be careful
Are saltwater stingrays easy to keep?
Nope, you need a lot of experience and a lot of room.
@@Aquapparel What about freshwater stingrays?
@@seth1571 Same :-)
Can a lion fish be added to this tank?
Hatu16bb I wouldn't. I preferred to keep the bio-load limited to just the sharks and the stingray due to the size of the tank. Also, to prevent possible injury to the sharks and stingray from the Lionfish.
Lol
nitrate 0? please tell me what's in your filters!
Andrew Lucfr The key that I have found is to under-stock the aquarium. The more overall water volume that you have, the more the ppm get diluted and the lower levels you have. Type of filtration, etc. is also a a factor. We will go into more detail about this in the update video of the pond very soon.
Aquapparel oh please do! really looking forward for the updates.
How much gallons
120, way too small for a long term solution. I was only using it as a grow out tank.
Can please someone writing a name of this species of stingray?
Halleri Stingray also known as the California Stingray.
What is the shark name?
Which one?
Can Bamboo sharks go in a 250 gallon if it's not a circular shape?
***** I would not recommend it. They get really big and can sometimes have trouble turning around in rectangle aquariums. They really need a lot of surface area room.
I think it would be fine... But you should later move him on to a 450+ they can grow to be 1 meter long
Yeah you could do that
It is a GROW OUT TANK and she/he built a 300 gallon tank
Won't they mess up their nose in a square tank
Nope, not benthic species.
I love how you put that you're experienced. If that were the case then why do you have them in a rectangular tank? That's the #1 NO for sharks as they will bump their noses in the corners of the tank. -.-
Hi There, I address this in the video but for benthic sharks like these, the rectangle shape will not harm them.
