Thanks guys! She's about 8" long and 2 months, 2 weeks old to the day. And the Eel is 13-14" long and my guess would be somewhere around 8-9 months old. Got him about 6 months ago when he was 6" long.

She looks bigger than my shark, and mine is approaching 4 monthes. She is about 8 inches too but still has really black bands, your shark's bands are turning brown already.

So, I've been fiddling with the camera for a while and have found that it takes fantastic close up shots!

Take a look:

I feed mine every other day. She is very fat and healthy, I personally don't mind her small size, I'd be more than okay with an 8 inch shark.

I really don't care how fast Farrah grows. Her pond should be built before she reaches 16" anyways. Its funny because I feed her every other day as well. Hmm, amazing how different two of the exact same animals can be, huh?

What all do you feed yours?

I feed Bambi Prosalt krill and PE mysis. The other day I caught her with Nemo in her mouth though. Luckily she decided Nemo wasn't that tasty and spit her out. Nemo is ok now.

Well, just go on and ship me that tank! Whenever the pond is built is whenever the shark will go in. That's all I'm gonna tell you because for some reason, you wait for my posts about my "bad keeping" of sharks and you give me hell about it.

I'll try and get a FTS later tonight or tomorrow. These should keep you occupied until then.

Not really sure. She's just always out day or night. From the day I got her she has been very active and very "out-in-the-open" 24/7.
