Keeper Cam: Feeding Sharks at the Tennessee Aquarium

Aquarist Jake Steventon gives a keeper's eye view of a Sandbar Shark feeding above the Tennessee Aquarium's Secret Reef exhibit. It turns out that it takes a little patience to feed these big toothy fish. While they are often portrayed as "eating machines", according to Steventon they can actually be quite "finicky and will sometimes go weeks without taking a bite.

Does the vet get into the tank or do you put the sick fish or turtle into another tank for examination?
