Just listening to the name “tiger shark”, it is easy to associate with a terrible and brutal creature, but in fact look at the size is not so big deterrent, the tiger shark name comes from just because of its appearance and body shape is very similar to the shark, but on their relationship between the tiger shark and shark is actually not a great connection. They live in the Mekong River basin, where they are more common and different from deep-sea sharks, they are freshwater creatures, living in freshwater and warm rivers.

They are more adaptable, but it does not mean they can adapt to low temperatures. When the water temperature is below eighteen degrees Celsius, the tiger shark’s activity movements will be affected and become slow, and the temperature will lead to their death further down.

They do not have high food requirements and can be described as an omnivorous aquatic creature, and their diet is very large, and the food they consume is generally.

1. Tiger sharks that live in the water will feed on the decaying animal carcasses in the water, preferring meat and also eating some plant debris.

2. The small tiger shark will take some tiny plankton as its main food, and aquatic algae as a supplementary food.

3. If the breeding is carried out artificially, you can feed special fish feed, or corn meal, fish meal dried fish, etc., a variety of food mix and match they will also eat, with sufficient protein food to supplement the energy required.

It is also because the tiger shark’s food sources are very wide, it also leads to their growth rate becomes fast, in a short period of time can grow to thirty centimeters to forty centimeters, or even longer body length, the wild free growth of the tiger shark will be more than the captive breeding more massive, the amount of food can be ingested.

Although they do not have any blood relationship with sharks, but there are similarities in character and temperament, tiger sharks are not suitable as ornamental fish, because they will be in the water constantly scurrying, the tank environment chaos, to a large extent affect the ornamental, but in the market there are examples of fish mixed with it.
