Well that shark is interesting to say the least... 🦈

I would say that's a Goiter and not a tumor. It needs to be treated asap, at that size it will be very painful and will definitely affect its ability to feed. Is not uncommon in pet sharks and usually can be resolved relatively easily

Iodine is one of the best treatments but I can't recommend dosages accurately from a vid. There are several websites that will show how to treat it and help the poor shark, that shark has probably been suffering for a while but, the goiter probably doubled in size while in the bag, through stress and bumping it. Good look hope you save it

your shark unfortunately has a goiter and needs to be treated for it ASAP. If this bump gets too big, it will prevent the shark from being able to eat and it will unfortunately pass away from starvation. The goiter develops pretty slowly, so It’s a good idea to do a health check on your shark at least once per week. I do a check when I feed mine. It’s a lot easier when they are target trained so that you can have them come up to the surface for a piece of their food for an easy inspection. This way you can get a look at their chin in order to monitor for a goiter. If you notice that your shark currently has a goiter of any size on it’s chin

Contact the marine biology department of your nearest university. Im sure someone there can help identify the issue. If it is a tumor or some kind of cyst i would demand a refund from the seller asap for sending a obviously ill shark. If u can, i would file with your card company asap also

I love y’all and all the videos, but as fish guys I think it’s important to lead other fish guys and girls in the right direction with the hobby/passion. It’s important to do as much research as possible about each species you decide to purchase or catch and keep. I’ve never had any sharks in my aquariums but I instantly knew that was a goiter, because of the research I did on caring for captivity bred sharks.
Either this shark was born with this because of thyroid problems and hatching distress, or the seller that you got it from wasn’t taking proper care of the diet.
Iodine intake can help so I suggest a supplement or feeding it unshelled shrimp or crab to supplement the iodine. But at the size of the goiter, it looks like the seller left it untreated for a while. I’d love to see treatment updates once y’all start it, it would help out other fish guys and girls.

😂😂😂we needa do some further investigation

[isaacanimalogo-]

Question where and how exactly do you look up these things or how you even get into the black market cause it can't be that easy as simply typing a lice or part of an endangered specie for sale when i try to do that trying to figure out if they're selling endangered species there i can never even find anything?

[wolfhazerd]

That growth under his jaw appears to be a goiter. If your intentions are to keep the shark then you're going to want to get that treated ASAP or it may starve.

[shanejameson]

You guys should go out & catch your own pond sharks

[ghostshirt]

Yeah right!😂 like you can buy a great white shark for your aquarium😂

[rip.arsenic]

@BrubzBuzzing(thefishingguys) you should get a pet crab 🦀

[JoeNunez]

f you notice that your aquarium shark has developed a bump on their chin, your shark unfortunately has a goiter and needs to be treated for it ASAP. If this bump gets too big, it will prevent the shark from being able to eat and it will unfortunately pass away from starvation. The goiter develops pretty slowly, so It’s a good idea to do a health check on your shark at least once per week. I do a check when I feed mine. It’s a lot easier when they are target trained so that you can have them come up to the surface for a piece of their food for an easy inspection. This way you can get a look at their chin in order to monitor for a goiter. If you notice that your shark currently has a goiter of any size on it’s chin, this article will teach you how to identify it, troubleshoot it and treat it.

So what is a goiter anyway? It’s a thyroid gland that becomes enlarged due to an iodine deficiency. This can be caused by a dietary deficiency or by exposure to excess nitrates. The goiter will appear as if your shark is growing a “chin” so to speak and will then get larger over time. It is imperative that once you start to notice the bump that you take action right away. Here is how to troubleshoot and figure out what it causing it:

When Earl gets too big you should get an insulated like hot tub and then put it inside a small building and then put that cooler in it or if you want to make it cheaper use plexiglass and make a big giant tub

Honestly i'm shocked that you wait several weeks to get him treated!

Hi fish guys, Found this online hope it helps.
