Most of this advice applies to bamboo sharks, coral cat sharks and epaulette sharks. Just keep in mind that of those three, epaulette sharks are the least active. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
He is absolutely cute just like a puppy!
Cutes guy I have ever had. And he just keeps getting cuter as he grows. A real gentle giant.
Please post an update on napoleon! I am so curious how he is doing 🙂
He is so fun to watch when he is moving. Love your videos!
Thanks! I had to hide some food in the tank to get him to move in the video. He normally just relaxes all day.
Can’t believe you didn’t even hit 8k yet! You should be at 1M!
Nice i wish we had some more you tubers that had sharks long term for good info
I got 3
Eupaulette sharks are one of my favorites
I already have to upgrade my 650 gallon because of them but they are so cool
Nice shark
Could you do a video on your blue hamlet ? I love that fish
Napoleon is so cute
Hey bud, fallen in love with your channel and Napoleon! I’m only new to aquariums and never done salt water but what you have achieved is where I’d love to be in a couple years. Any advice for a newly starting salt water aquarist? I currently have a 180L (3’x 1.5’x 2’ high) tank, what would you suggest for a nursery tank?
Hey love your videos, can the epi mix with tangs ok? I see you have a purple but what about 3-4 tangs? Thanks
Wow what kind of rock are you using? Especially fhe flat pieces
Got a coral cat about 20” a banded shark that’s 3’ and a marbled cat shark that’s a little under 3’
“Why no substrate? This is why.” *cuts to adds* then cuts to Attack of the clones ❤️❤️❤️
I'm a follower of your channel here in Brazil. What is the name of this silver fish with black yellow tail, like firefish.
Aside from substrate and live rock, what else do you need? No other fish btw. Any coral? Anemone? Etc
Question: for tank size for an Epaulette can you trade in height for width? For example instead of doing 96x30x24 and do 96x36x18?
Hello, would a 500 gallon aquarium be enough for a banded catshark and a brownbanded bamboo shark?
Where did you get the rock for your tank?
What's the best way to ensure he's getting the right iodine levels and vitamins?
U ditched the maxpect light m8, loving the hybrid system ?
I am curious how much you spend monthly for feeding the shark only? Also, is it best to have the food be live for the shark?
Can I put more than one in a tank and can I mix and match the type of shark???
I’m getting the Red Sea 3XL 900, what shark would you recommend for me? For filtration, I have the simplicity 800 DC.
If I get a shark, how much rock, and sand should I get?
Thanks!
How did you keep the hamlet from eating your fish? Do you feed heavily to keep it happy. I’m interested in how you keep a predator in a reef environment.
What would be some nice compatible fish for a shark?
Great video, well said and highly educational! We are kicking around the idea of putting one or maybe two in our 1000 gallon tank. Be sure to check us out on UA-cam, we just released part 16 in the build-out series.
They would love it in there!
If I were to get a epaulette shark is it ok to keep it in a ten gallon tank
Can you keep them with gobys
One other question. Do you think I could keep marbled, bamboo and epaulettes together in a large enough reef aquarium.
I’m planning out future tanks and I want to know how far I can go.
From seeing Public Aquariums, I would say yes (Don't trust me on this, I just see PAs do it) they have different Cat Sharks, Carpet Sharks, Etc in Huge Touch pools together
If it is large enough. Those species are compatible. The bio load stacks up quick though. A breeding pair of eppies would be really cool.
Puff Daddy Reef yeah it would.
Can I keep a coral cat shark in a 31x21 tank
What species of sharks can stay together?
How do you spell the name of the site? Been searching for it
Ok, so this is random, but are you the guy that was selling the flat live rock on the Boston reefers forum a couple of month ago? Recognize those rocks!
Could I get by with a tank that’s 73 inches by 20 inches
One question, is the bio load as big as people say?
It’s big but not unmanageable. The stabilize their internal salinity by secreting urea through the skin. So it is like a steady ammonia drip. The problem is people get one and then add other big stuff in there with it. That is why I prefer small fish as tank mates.
Puff Daddy Reef very good.
What is your opinion on flasher and fairy wrasse as tank mates with an Epaulette?
I would avoid it. Wrasses sleep in the sand at night and these guys like to sift through sand with their nose. It would be pretty tempting for the shark.
Some wrasses sleep in rockwork, those would probably probably be fine. My 6 line always slept in the rocks.
Ok. Thank you.
Please post a update.
The smallest shark is the dwarf lantern shark
Can I put a shark in a 135g
Is a 150 gallon tank pushing it to get a single epaulette shark? I know it technically requires 180, but I am wondering if 150 could possibly be efficient enough
I reckon if it’s a wide and short tank
How many fish has Napoleon eaten? Any big-no fish to keep with him?
Has not eaten any that I know of . Keep out puffers and triggers which harass sharks.
2:40 what is the name of that shark?
Epaulette in a 120g that's 6ft x 1.5ft x 2ft H? Has a 30G sump.
For the first two years no problem. Will probably outgrow it in 2 years though.
Can I just use a water tank as a fish tank? Can’t afford the high prices of a 200+ gallon reef tank
What is your tank size??
What minimum tank dimensions can I keep an adult coral catshark in and can I have clownfish as tankmates? I'm asking because of a video I found of a coral catshark cohabitating with a reef and fish including clownfish. The link of the video: ua-cam.com/video/zIUCK4hTlA0/v-deo.html
Pretty sure you are not suppose to keep sharks in a tank with corners. Reason is bc they can hemorrhage their snout due to running into the corners. You need a race track or round style tank.
Benthic sharks like epaulettes are an exception as I discussed in the video. I didn’t bring up the nose issue but that also does not apply to this species.They have no problem turning corners and actually use their snout to dig in sand and push over rocks.
Could a shark be in a 125 gallons
No, maybe a small shark such as a coral cat shark or Bali catshark for a year or 2 but then you would need to upgrade to a 180 gallon. I am thinking of getting a pool as it would be easier
Is it possible to put a saltwater shark in a 48in long tank
Aren't you supposed to use a sand bottom
Where do u get bamboo sharks
That is not coral catshark!
If I were to get a epaulette shark is it ok to keep it in a ten gallon tank
