Default Be responsible...

Please build your big tank before obtaining either of these species. I've seem you change your mind about buying and selling things more times than i can count on these forums. One day its money problems, the next your downsizing to keep the wife happy and the day after that youre building a 3000 gallon tank out of 5/8 glass.

Both species get way to big for what you are currently have and are planning to build and both species will get big enough to consume your "1.2 trio" of little coral catsharks.

I guess what I'm saying is please be a responsible pet owner.

Also, if u are building that big tank do it out of 3/4inch+ or it won't work.

Hey Nate

I am not looking for 5/8" glass, I am looking for 3/4-1" glass or maybe even 1"+ acrylic. I would also not take on larger sharks until the 3000gallon is ready. I was going to sell my set up before, but me and my better half, talked out the best way of doing things.

I am sorry if somehow I offend you

Corey

Hey Corey, not offended.
I had Noticed you wanted glass, Had my buddy Dave call you to tell you he had a 14 foot 3/4 inch piece of glass and you told him you wanted 5/8.

Also, wait for even small black tips, I have some experience with them and they grow far too fast. You should stick with the coral cat sharks as they are a dime a dozen and more suited to even your large (3000) gallon aquarium. Why not look at epaulettes? Horn sharks? I would stay away from the open water sharks, their requirements are well beyond the means of the average aquarist. Think about the endeavor before you take it on. You have changed your mind buying and selling things ( rock, tanks, sharks, ray) left right and centre on this board so I in my opinion you should really take a look in the mirror and make sure this is something you are committed to. You can find homes for your little " leopard sharks" a lot easier than a black tip.

Good luck with it, and If you need some help talking this through, pm me and I'll give you my number.

I just look at this and I see a recipe for disaster

No worries Nate...

Actually I told him I did not want it unless he could cut it smaller, he has 2 pieces one at 14' x 6' (1200lbs)and one at 14'x2'. I asked him if he would sell the smaller piece seperate but he wants to sell it all. Also he wants $2500 for the 2 of them uncut. I am afraid to cut that large of glass and have 2.5k of shards on my shop floor. I use to make aquariums but only cut up to 1/2 and 6' long. This is obviously too big for me to cut. As for the sharks....

He did call me and tell me that they are Coral cat sharks. I looked at the pictures, they do resemble them, but the eyes of a Coral Cat Shark have black pupils, my dont have pupils they are silver with lighting bolt style designs. If this is true however then I was lied to by a very reputable Calgary Salt water fish store.... As I special ordered these. I did call him, and they say they are leopard sharks.... So I am not sure at the moment, usually you trust the store you buy stuff at but we will see. As leopard sharks have 5-7 live pups, and coral cat sharks lay 2 pods in the sand.... time will tell.
