Sharks require very large tanks (100s of gallons usually) to swim around in when they approach 2' or 3'. They may be cool as babies, but that baby will eat a lot & you will need excellent filtration/skimming to keep up with their huge bioload. Just for myself, I wouldn't have a shark, even the smallest one, in less than 300g to handle their adult size. My friend got one in, not his decision but another person ordered & couldn't keep it, and it looks out of place even in his lightly stocked 300g.

I had three pups in an 8x3x3 tank and they still looked out of place.

oh, and the more you do what you're doing in the video, the less likely the pup is to survive. good luck though

Uhh, don't you think that's just a wee bit short sighted? You should start looking for a new home for the baby ASAP.

And please stop shaking the egg.
