Need info about saltwater shark and tank build
I want to get some informer about other people shark tank for black tip and other.
I want to build a shark tank and want to know how big the tank should be like how long and wide and where to get a shark or who might have one. The shark tank is only going to be for small black tip. And when it get bigger I would like to sell it. To some one in Calgary. And I would like to see your shark tank to get some idea and that Hope to here from you |

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.

The shark is the inexpensive part. The cost of the tank and the filtration will be much more impressive. Not to mention the ongoing maintenance costs.
If you're concerned about the price difference between buying a shark for $500 or $1000 I get the impression that the shark tank build might be about $30-40,000 more than you're thinking. If that's out of your budget range,then consider a smaller less active shark like a Bamboo Shark. |
