Seems on topic to me.

Hes gorgeous. How big of a tank is he in?? How long did you have the egg?? Could you watch the egg progress...or was it just kind of the same the whole time??

Very cool i think

They can only eat little bitty pieces. Try raw squid and raw shrimp. Frozen stuff may be a little odd for them to eat. leave it sit on the sand for a bit and keep an eye on them.

From what I have read, the shark takes a week for their instincts to kick in and make them aggressive.

Also I was told to turn off all the pumps and place food near their mouth and wait for them to eat.

Some times a shark can go with out eating for months.

Also when the shark hatches they still have a small yolk sack in them that can take a week or 2 for their body to use it up.

All I can say is I am very surprised at how fast the little thing is.
