ANother shark question--- HELP!

[puffy_1234]

I am still trying to get my shark to eat... he is four weeks old today, and hasn't eaten anything.... I just tried silversides tonight, and he still turned those away... is something wrong with him????? fill me in about anything, or if you think I am doing something wrong......

try small chunks or small chunks of squid

 

[fishy88]

most sharks love squid

They can be so fickle at that stage. How is the water quality? Nitrates ok? If you havn't yet, try small pieces of squid late at night when he is more active. Maybe soak it is Selcon too. Also could try baby guppies and glass shrimp.
How skinny is it? Just keep at it.

try ghost shrimp. break their tails so they cant swim away but so that they can still flop enough to get the sharks attention. or just try holding them in front of the shark, you should still break their tails so they dont get away from you as well. it worked for me in aday or two. hth mr hanky
