Baby great white shark

[Megalodon]

Hi everyone, I lucked out at a LFS today and brought home a baby great white shark for my 90 gallon. So far it seems to be doing good. Has anyone else had one of these? I know they eat fish but other than that, are they reef safe? I don't want it eating my inverts.

Thanks in advance.

mine is good on the inverts. I am spending a fortune on baby seals to keep it fed.

No problem_ get them all the time- and when they outgrow the 38 gallon I keep them in- I put them on the livingroom floor to dry and make jerky for my owl.

mine has outgrew my tank, should I try to flush it down the toilet?

Just let it go in a pond. It will be alright.

Actually, we could use one in Lake Michigan. Can you ship? I'll pay for shipping.

They make a really nice hat.

I was wondering who beat me to that purchase, I've been looking for one for months to pair up with my Orca.

i hear the chinese like to harvest the fin from sharks...i suppose once it gets too big for the 90 you could sell it to a chinese restaurant for a premium price!

(a tad morbid i know )

if this post is true sorry for my honest opinion but i think that crazy to get one first a 90 gal tank is way too small and to even get somthing like that knowing how big they get i think is irrisposible and i have heard that no one sucsefully even is able to keep them alive even the big aquaruims..again sorry for the opinion but that how i feel i think is sucks that a lfs would even have accsess to sell one cuz in the end the poor thing is doomed i live in southern cal and we have them off our waters out here and they get huge no avrage person would have the means to keep them long term

I was seriously hoping someone had a great white.

**** April fools day.

Just make sure you take it to the park weekly...but not with the dog, mine only has 3 legs now

oh, and feed it plenty of nori! Odd the dog looked at me kinda funny when I mentioned nori...hmm.

^ Personally, I think you've all been had!

When I added my baby great white to my 70g cube last week he was doing fine! All the other fish didn't seem to like him, though.

I've also seem to have misplaced two sohal tangs, wonder where they went...

[flyline]

lol funny i was wondering why no one said anything i dident even think "april fools" i just thought the post was crazy

[highhopes592003]

You guys are hilarious. Honey you are so much like me. Ya love the animals and take it to heart. They was just kidding, but you do have to admitt its so funny to read them. April fools is over and Im gona miss the mini beluga whale and your post. Thanks for the giggles guys

Mine is in a 10 gallon... his tail hangs out of the tank though...

[NYCBOB]

is it reef safe?

[Alex T.]

I had to move all liverock to the sump to give my Great White more swimming room in my 150 cube. Since he's the only fish in the tank he should be fine into young adulthood when I'll move him to my large 200 gallon. I don't know why this tank was never able to keep fish alive so I figured I'd give a robust creature like a shark a try. The only other tank mate for the baby Great White is my Blue Ring Octopus that has been with me for 2 years. He's outlived every fish that's been in that tank so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the shark is just as hardy. Maybe the shark won't mysteriously disappear like the other fish.

I'm just a newbie.....................where can I get a Great White and will he eat my minature dashchund if it gets too close?
