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 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.
