Oh my goodness!
 
One of the local Edmonton vendors has a:

Black Tipped Reef Shark $1000

This is disgusting. Maybe someone has $1000 plus enough money to fly it back to Vancouver Island where it belongs? I just can't believe this, ****es me off something fierce.

Why would someone bring in a shark that grows to 15 feet in the wild!!?#@$!@#$!@

which one
 
Which vendor brought in this shark I would like to boycot them.

I don't bash vendors, but in this case I will say that the shark is in a basement in the north end.

Black tips grow to approx 6 feet in the wild. Not sure where you were getting 15 feet from.

Even still they aren't very aquarium suitable.

vancouver island. I saw them in Grand Cayman and aussi but I dont think they are a pacific northwest shark. King Eds in Richmond has a couple in their tank.

I think you mean Big Al's. They have some in the Richmond & PoCo store. King Ed's doesn't have a large display tank.

Sorry, got into such a flurry over seeing this! It is the Six Gill Shark that gets to 15 feet around Vancouver Island. :redface:

Ok so 5 feet, still shouldn't be brought in to Edmonton unless it is pre-sold to someone with a suitable aquarium.

They brought it in just to make you angry. :(

How big is this shark at the moment? Have seen (nurse?) shark eggs in that vendor's tanks years ago when we used to occasionally dropped by his place. Hopefully, someone doesn't impulse buy it without researching first.

And never trust what that particular vendor says, which is that fish only grow to the size of the tank they're in :eek: :rolleyes: :2gunfire:

Dont worry guys, great whites only grow to 1ft long if you keep them in a 75g!
