I finally got axolotls today and I'm so excited!!! I haven't owned any in quite a while so it's really nice to have them again. I got a total of four, all in different colours. I got an albino male, golden male, leucistic female and melanoid female. I'm absolutely in love, they look so gorgeous...

Hey! I haven't been active on the forum for months now but I've been busy in that time! I last posted about starting a shark tank and almost immediately after reached out to a local marine research institute/aquarium which has a zebra shark breeding and research program. Since I have always...

I just looked them up and they are gorgeous! I’ll look into them. I’m not usually a huge fan of WC fish however due to some bad experiences in the past and just the fact that well kept ones are so hard to find. Thanks for the suggestion I’ll search my LFS!

Yeah I think I’ll just have to give up on my shark dreams for now and go with other reef fish instead. I’ve just heard lots about fish picking at eyes of sharks and rays, particularly butterfly fish. Maybe they don’t and I just know fish keepers who think nothing should go together, who knows...

Yes I’m aware I need to look at the fish for what it will become, but thanks for the reminder! The plan is currently acrylic and yes, I would swim in it to clean it. Thanks for also bringing up the lack of boxes! I wanted to just have rounded edges since I read sharks hate corners, not as good...

Ok I’ll probably do that as it seems my FS has been giving me lots of false information. (Also my fault because I hadn’t double checked yet). Maybe I’ll switch to a various butterfly fish instead and give up on sharks.

Yes for sure, that’s why this is so rough. I was not aware zebra sharks were threatened, I guess I assumed they weren’t since a local place sold them from time to time. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I’ll remove them from the list and inquire about why the FS is selling them. I look...

It’s finally happening! After years of dreaming I can finally begin planning out my dream shark tank and actually build it. It’s such a surreal feeling and I cannot wait to start. My first step is brainstorming the exact fish I want for the tank. Just as an idea to gauge size, style, decor...

Haha! I’d love to do larger sharks however we’ll have to see if the budget fits that first

Haha I haven’t seen this one. What did he do? Fight the sharks? Give them lasers?

I mean actual sharks! Of course they don’t actually chew your face off, the ones I’m getting aren’t nearly big enough to even try

Hi everyone! I’ve been a lurker in the forum for a bit, scrolling for oddly specific questions and discussions and whatnot but I’ve finally decided to join and be part of the community! I’ve been fish keeping my whole life and I just saved enough for the fish tank of my dreams and I’m going to...
