When it hatches will it eat your other fish?

I really like your black and white ones there.

It will be so neat when the egg hatches! You will have to post pictures of it. How big is you tank? I have heard that kind of sharks need around 130 gallons! I wish I had a tank that big.

the other fish will be taken out soon black and white fish are zebra damsels,cat sharks are cool this tank is 75gallons way to small the shark needs about 250 gallons.i'm looking into a bigger tank and looking into a part time job to help pay for it

The reason some things are more expensive in england then they should be is because we will pay it as a race we will moan but we still pay extra even when we know we shouldn't have to eg cigarettes, alcohol, fuel, flights and now it would appear banded cat shark eggs
