yall seen that sharpenose they found in medina lake, texas.. Fishermen have caught two of them in a FW lake 200 miles from the ocean. thats crazy they live in FW. :thinking:

Well- while Sharpies - can live in FW. But only for a period of about 7-14 days. The truth is there are several species of sharks that can tolerate FW for up to several days at a time. Including Blacktips, & Bonnetheads.
Blacktips like the sharpies have been found in FW about a couple hundred miles from the open ocean. Bonnets have been found about 50 miles up river.
But Bulls are the true champs - when comes to living in freshwater.Bulls have been known to live in FW rivers for months at a time - may be even a couple of years. And swim more that 1,000 miles up major river systems from the ocean.
But no shark is capable of living in FW for it's entire life.

You guys are going to kill me. I took the camera to work this weekend and went up to the front of the store to take a few pictures for you guys and the battery on the camera was dead. I forgot to check to see if charged before I left to go t to work. I will be out of town next weekend but I will try again the next weekend I am at work.

Looking forward to the pictures. Do you have any future plans to add any Sharks into the tank?
Do you have any thing covering the tank? Has the Zebra Eel shown any interest in possible jumping out without a cover?
