Follow My Prgress Of Building A Epaulette Shark Tank
Two Years ago i purchased a Epaulette Shark.
they are amazing Swimming in Aquariums, they have great
personalities.
The first one i brought unfortunately died just after 6 months,
then i brought my second one, she was a bit bigger than the last one,
everything was going great until my trigger fish started to nip at her fins.
So i quickly took her back to the shop where she lives now in a tank till i build a new
tank for her..
As i was building a new tank i ordered a male and he is in the tank with the female
they get on great, he now and then pulls at her fins, but after researching that's the behavior at breeding but no shark eggs yet i think she is still too young to do the deed.
Last month the tank came in 210x60x70cm and the stand was made of steel.
I placed 15mm ply wood on top of the stand then foam.
finally i got then tank in the lounge room after months of waiting the sharks have been in the shop since november 2007..
I am connecting two sumps to the tank as there is two hole drilled in the top of the tank.
