niiiiiice. you've got quite the beaut there. 180 is going to be quite small for it. You will very likely want to start looking for a large upgrade.

justin justin justin justin ...... this is part of my cunning plan.......
we started off with a 72 gallon for mhy wife........ then i had my predators only in a 50 gallon when they were small.... then i bought the 180 gallon as they grew a little larger... only to tell my wife.... honey..... look!!!! we need a bigger tank as the shark is getting bigger!!!!!! in which she will only agree as its such a lovelly fish and she will fall in love with it in months to come, so she wont have any hesitation into allowing me to get a larger tank........ tactics dear justin... tactics..... Hey when can i see the mantis you got from hidden reef???

hahaha man you got this ALL planned out eh? lol well done, well done.
well i got final exams until the 18th, so not until after then... until then ill be scrambling realising how screwed i am. for now Im listening to the hockey game ans well... procrastinating. it's what i do best! after that though, come on over any time! Ill be moving trogdor to an 8gal biocube which will become a mantis reef tank over time. the 60gal will probably become a coldwater tank in the somewhat more distant future but will for the moment be a FOWLR. hmmm... maybe ill get a small volitan from JL and get a 100gal when it grows... muahaha...

I hope you have a huge tank for it. Would recommend at least a 200g with overskimming since these are predators.
In the 80s, I had a smooth horn shark that I taught to eat out of my hands. I trained it to eat squids & smelts, and it grew from 8" to about 18" before I sold it to someone with a much larger custom tank than my 110g (which was the largest regular tank available at the time). Good luck with it. Anthony

Thanks for the comments guys, and im happy its eating some krill, but was looking for advise on other ways of feeding, types of food etc... im turning my 2 power heads off at the moment and using a tube to drop down the krill near its mouth.... it wont touch silver side at present.. here is a question.. regarding the silver side... should i break it down into chunks? or leave it whole? its rather big compared to the sharks mouth at present. I cant use shrimp as when i try and drop that down a tube.... it doesnt sink and stays on the surface.... typical....
I have it in my 180 at the moment Anthony, and i have a 400 lined up for future purchase, but i cant get that until i move, and thats 6-12 months away, so i think until then it should be fine.

Great.
You can try using a feeding stick to skewer the seafood on it & then waving it in front of the shark. Anthony
