Hi fellow, god no, don`t you ever feed cook food, and a shark would eat every 3 or 4 days and try to feed shrimp squid, scollops and even feeders and feed it until it refuses any more food then don`t feed for 3 or 4 days. Are you feeding by hand or a stick? When i use to have a stingray and shark aquarium years ago before i moved south, i feed the sharks by hand and when they got larger i bought 5 inch feeders and i use to put the feeder in a fish net and set the net top the marine tank in the water just to knock the fight out of the feeder so that i can hold it between my fingers in a flat open hand to feed them. alot people go belly up when they hear that, but aquariums my life. I don`t keep sharks any more since i moved south, but i do have a mating pair dragon moray eels.Say, you never answeared my question about how i can place an image here and would a image size of 300 KB download here, i have 7 systems for over a 10 or 11 years period, but i been thinking on discontinuing the smaller tanks which would leave me with 2 180`s, 150 and the 65 hospital tank. I have a large hospital tank because i have large fishes, a 7" Tusk, 11" Golden Puffer 9" emperror and all my fishes except the eels eat from my hand and the emperror enjoys me petting him. Hope i helped you and i would thank you greatly if you helped me.

:Hey Guys,
:A friend of mine has a leopard shark. He only feeds him a piece of squid or silverside a day and the leopard didn't eat yesterday. He was just wondering if he could feed him a piece of meat such as raw chop meat or raw/cooked steak? Most LFS are closed and the shark doesnt accept shrimp for some reason.
:Thanks Ahead.
