|
|
I have a banded shark egg and I also halve a progect of fesh breeding for tomorow. The shark has tried for the last 3 days to get out of the egg but he couldnt. I was wondering is there a way to make the egg hatch quicker? |

Hmm, not sure what your first comment means.
Not sure if you should try to rush the egg process, suggest more research before taking those steps.
Be advised; for most aquarists, these are difficult to maintain for long periods, the animal usually suffers. May I ask what size tank you have, these require at least 125 gal system for the initial growth period; a 180 gal is minimum for the 36 inch adult size. Feeding newborns can also pose a challenge; be prepared.

As your egg begins to weaken, the color of the sac at the opening will begin to lighten. It will go from a dark brown color, almost to an orage/tan color. At this point the egg will be thin enough that the shark should be free soon. I would not suggest helping nature!
The good news is this. If you had to pick a shark, you have picked the best one. They are still very rapid growers and require a species tank, but success has been proven possible.
Good luck! |
