Do they ever hatch?
If they do hatch, does the shark start eating other fish. I can almost see them hatching at night or when we are not watching and them hunting right from the start.
Has anyone ever had a shark egg hatch? If so what kind of shark came out, and what did you do with them? How fast did it grow?
I always see people buying shark eggs and wonder if they even have an idea of what might happen or if it is just a cool thing to have. I just watch from afar and wonder if someone buying is on Canreef, but never see a post about the purchase.
I was in the store yesterday and saw some pretty chewed up large tangs in the shark tank and thought that was not the best thing to see. It is a big tank but has little options for escape for the poor fish.

Yes they are relatively easy to hatch in a well established aquarium. The sharks do not start eating fish although that would make life easier if they did for shark owners. They are quite hard to get eating sometimes and if they do not eat fairly quick they die.
I have known quite a few people who have hatched eggs (mostly for outdoor ponds in Florida) and rarely had any loses.
They are most likely Bamboo sharks that do not eat most fish. They will usually just eat the fish you feed them like silversides. They would never go after anything much bigger.
I think you have been watching JAWS too much
