AVAILABILITY NOTE ORER IMMEDIATELY WHEN AVAILABLE! This is strictly a waiting list item. Please keep in mind when we contact you that they're available, we're contacting MANY other customers are the same time. A spectacular but often difficult animal, the Zebra Shark demands nothing short of perfect surroundings, peaceful tankmates and an experienced shark keeper as its owner. Do not keep with curious fishes such as triggers or active wrasses (eg: Thalassoma sp.) as these fishes may harm the small shark. Can be difficult to fed. Offer live grass shrimp to initiate a feeding response. Some individuals will accept meaty seafoods such as shrimp, scallops or marine fish flesh. May fast for weeks before it begins feeding. Availability is highly unpredictable and they sell in an instant. ORDER IMMEDIATELY WHEN AVAILABLE! PLEASE NOTE: This is a restricted species and is not covered by our live arrival guarantee.
