humu humu and cat shark

[sharkboy13]

any ideas out there on the compatability of a humu humu trigger and a marble cat shark? input would be greatly appreciated. :notsure:

Triggers and sharks will not get along because triggers will be too agggressive for a shark. Generally, there aren't really any large angels, puffers, triggers, or wrasses that do well with sharks and sting rays.

why does life hate me? ok ok any cool lookin fish that are comaptible?!?!? :help:

 

[lion_crazz]

Compatible with what? What do you want to center your tank around? The shark or the trigger?
What size tank is this for?

 

[psusocr1]

ig ot lots of cool fish with my shakr and rays

 

[sharkboy13]

i would prefer to center around the shark but i could let go of my precious shark *sniff*sniff*

 

[shark bait]

good tank mates are
eels
squirrelfish
groupers
batfish
goat fish
snappers
jacks
monos
gobies
monos
dams
hawkfish
this list is a recomendation from scott michael, and all with caution. If not on the list it is on the " DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT LIST"

 

[surfinusa]

lionfish and tangs are also compatible

 

[maroonytun]

Well, I have to add to that list
wrasses
Firefish, but might get eaten
clownfish
tangs
rays, if tank is large enough

 

[sharkboy13]

how does this list look (invertebrates are decoration[sort of])
Marbled Cat Shark
Snowflake Eel
Fu Manchu Lionfish
Horseshoe Crab(s)
Spiny Oyster
Persian Sand Conch
Panther Grouper
Powder Blue Tang

It looks good, when feeding the grouper feed it fist, as it will take krill or silversides, and return to it's "home" and eat and come back out when it is done. This will help you get the food down tothe shark. Are the inverts in the sump or main tank? It is best to keep what every you can of the bottom of the tank so the shark haas a stress free swim. IMO

 

[sharkboy13]

their in the bottom of the tank, well atleast the oyster and conch should be, although im wondering will the horseshoe crab be food for any of the fish? and if so are they a reliable one?

 

[maroonytun]

The horse shoe crab is not a good choice in any aquarium. These guys have a very poor survival rate. Just my .02 worth.

What size is it. I hope it is 300+ for the fish you have?

Totally agree

I would leave those off the list. They don't last very long, unfortunately.

Thanks Emp
I knew I didn't see it.
