livingart Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) It is indeed, just missed out on a small hammerhead the other day, sadly it didn't make the trip back.Long term plan is to breed the carpet sharks.Then a bigger aquarium.

Benjansss Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Wait did the baby hammer die or escape also you shoundt really breed them because that would be inbreeding which not only is disgusting but also produces Geneticllay weak offspring Edited October 14, 2015 by Benjansss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Wait did the baby hammer die or escape also you shoundt really breed them because that would be inbreeding which not only is disgusting but also produces Geneticllay weak offspring Disgusting in humans yes, but happens frequently with other animals.The offspring will likely be fine until you get into the third or fourth generation.Anyway, livingart will be fully aware of any risks.

Benjansss Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 You really shoundt have tried to take the hammer head it would have grown way to big for a tank that wasn't around kelly teltins size you're reasponseable for the death of an inacint baby shark shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
