Live Arrival Guarantee
The Banded Cat Shark egg requires finer sand as the substrate in the aquarium, as the abdomen is easily scratched by a coarser substrate, thus causing infection. It should never be exposed to copper-based medications. The hatched Shark will eat any crustacean in the aquarium. Providing hiding spaces for the lights-on time of the aquarium will allow the Banded Cat to remain in a darker area.
The hatching time of the egg will be anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks depending on the stage of development and the environmental conditions in the aquarium. When hatched, offer small pieces of cleaned squid or live saltwater feeder shrimp in order to entice this fish to eat. Then it may be fed shrimp, scallops or pieces of fresh marine fish.
This egg is guaranteed for live arrival.
