Sharks?

[gzsick]

even on the cat sharks there's not a whole lot because aside from the maintenance aspect, most people here dont think big time (about real fish). i had an 18 inch cat shark and that was fairly hard 2 find.

Call BA's in Edmonton. Ask them how fast a dead shark wiped out there shark display.

Was it 3 or 4 sharks that died over night because ONE died during the night and polluted the tank?

And their tank was huge. I went to the Edmonton Journal about it and they said the LFS refused any comment. And BAs "knew" what they were doing. Baloney.

Good luck.

I remember BAs wipeout... I was picking up gars the following day i think.
Im not looking to keep anything insane for sure... I know nurse sharks are way too big for even large home aquaria. Im just curious about the small species. I noticed alot of people keeping blueline triggers in smaller tanks with positive responses accross the board.... they get 24" and a 24"trigger would be what 12-14" tall and 6-8" thick weighing 20-30lbs where as a 3 foot catshark is 75% tail and at the most 3" in diameter weighing 2-6 lbs.... Im just missing the logic here a bit

The sharks in the Calgary LFS were also disappearing (and I noticed replacements too) and was told that the sharks will sometimes invert their stomachs to wash'em out or something. I think one of the sharks would then attack the others when they did this killing them. The policy seems to be to replace sharks that died with more sharks that will die all for the sake of their branding. There's been only one shark there for some time... I hope there are no replacements to be honest.
