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.

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

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

I don't know the current size, this information is just from a fish inventory list.
