If I get this right you just want a shark for a bit then will return to ocean ? Also I never buy fish from the oven I like them wet.

Hey guys, keep it on topic please. If you have nothing informative to contribute, please continue on to a different thread. Like maybe this one: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...58269&page=725

I have to say that if you do get a 2000+ gallon tank and a Black Tip Shark, please share as many pictures as possible with us. As far as I know, it would be a first for Canreef.

Wow, this is wrong in so many ways.

I guess by saying yes we have built aquascapes for large tank to house sharks (for a long commitment time not a short burst of fun and leave)

For a shark tank (black, white tip,..) that needs at least 12 cube foot tank, we would never suggest a smaller tank for a shark.

To get such tank built and running you require a decent amount of money as the shark alone might be in the range of $1000 but the build itself and to have it properly running you need at least 30 times that above price.

And on top of it all you need the commitment for such system.
You just shouldn't get a 2 foot pet shark for a year and house it in a small tank for your own enjoyment only then KILL IT as its really hard to rehouse a shark.

There are other fish that could be housed in a nano up to a swimming pool size,yes its not prime for any fish but we all do our best to supply our pets the best we could do.

Just for a reference the last shark build was at least costing the customer $30000 and without a shark yet running for 2 months,..

I will be happy to walk you through getting a shark tank information and understanding the living requirements of such a beautiful beast.

OK, an on topic post. In my opinion, you will need a very, very large tank to keep these sharks in captivity, at least the size of an Olympic swimming pool. I base my opinion on my observations of seeing these creatures swimming in their natural surroundings when I am scuba diving. I am making no comment on other fish available in the fish trade. If the original OP wants to say, "while, what about this fish.." we can debate that elsewhere.
