Re: Doc's Shark Tank

finally, a short feeding video. I tried to get it all in but he just went crazy. I will post a better one in a few weeks when I get him trained to eat out of my hand.



I am just so excited!

you would be surprised how graceful he is when he is hunting for food. He tests the strength of his surrounding with his nose prior to moving over them. He did knock off the LPS that I have on the top, so I replaced it in a better, more stable spot. He is a monster compared to my other fish, but just so graceful to watch. It is really cool to check him out at night, his eyes get SO HUGE when normally they have just a small open slit in them, like a cat during the day. Pretty awesome.

The grey banded gets about 30 inches long and luckily are not too aggressive. Their teeth are small plates almost like bone that are used to crush the shells of critters. He swallows his food whole and does not rip and tear like sharks with individual teeth. He is pretty gentle. I have been "nipped" before with my other one and there is no pain. I suppose if I stuck my pinkie inside his mouth, he might be able to suck and grind off all the flesh, but I don't feed him like that...LOL
