You're looking at at 2000 gallon tank. That's what they had at Island Pets and it looked small still for black tips which are constant swimmers, unlike bamboo and catsharks. The bigger the better. Think swimming pool size. Smaller black tips kept in smaller size tanks generally die from crashing into the sides or jumping out or just stress from being in too small an enclosure. Beautiful but probably one of the less suitable species for the aquarium unless its a public aquarium with tanks in the tens of thousands of gallons. I doubt anybody in Calgary is set up to keep a black tip adult or even sub-adult. They are also messy eaters so the filtration system would cost an arm & a leg. They fed their black tip sharks at Island Pets whole salmon.
