"Size at maturity is also larger for females, about 225 cm (7.5 ft) in females vs 210 cm (7 ft) for males."
Basically, they will outgrow the tank before they are old enough to mate.
yea ive went to sea world (about 40 mins from me) and talk the main biologist he told me when they get to big or i cant afford to feed them they would come and take them since its not far to drive however im wanting to build my own tank im looking into it at the moment my idea so far s intead of a tank in teh house make ti an extension of the house with one big viewing window
but im it would be costly but pretty cool none the less
which obviously bring another question i hear they grow about 5 inches a year so i figure i haeva couple year tog et them in something bigger, providing i do kep them and build them a much larger tank would they possibly mate? and how hard would it be to maintain a 10k gallon plus saltwater
i seem to have the opposite effect everyone has i also have 2 10 gallons that i never touched since i put them up i live near the gulf about a 5 min drive and they are beach sand rocks and water all ive done in 2 months is add the evaporated water back into test it and its perfect they are even the cheap 10 gallon freashwater setup from walmart one the other hand my 400 gallon is really a pain to keep it maintained everyhting is fine except my ammonia is extremly high we changed ALL the water about 2 weeks ago i done a 80 gallon change 2 days ago teh ammonia is of the chart at well above 8ppm any ideas?
