I have just finished placing an order for BTR sharks that I will be picking up at JFK in about two weeks. These guys are coming straight from a solid, reliable overseas collector and I am getting an excellent deal on them. The only problem is that I had to order a total of five to fulfill...

It has become very apparant that there is still a wealth of misinformation out there about private shark keeping. Flaming wars and insults are not going to clear any of it up. The sad fact is that there are very few true experts that can and will help. Add to this the fact that far too many...

I have been very dismayed and concerned about what seems to be a general lack of concern for the animals folks are trying to keep. There have been a tremendous amount of posts about sharks and the minimum tank for them and all but a few people are over-looking the most basic rule of...

Just FYI, I have an minute long video of the new sharks from my trip in their pool. If anyone is interested just give or send me your email. I will warn you that it is a fairly large file size. My email is hallmj@att.net

Just got home from a successful collecting trip south. Totals for the trip are 4 sharpnoses, a bonnet, and a black nose. Here's a pic of one of the sharks:

Just wanted to let all know that I will be receiving two new Pacific black tips in about a week. I was able to get them very cheap, except for shipping costs but still cheaper than here in the states. I will be picking the little ones up at the airport next Friday. Can't wait! :jumping:

Just thought I'd drop a pic or two showing my recent collecting success. I am anxiously awaiting my two week vacation/collecting trip. Plans are set, now all I have to do is get through work!

Just to gloat a little but in about three weeks I will be heading down to the North Carolina coast to go after Atlantic sharpnoses and bonnets. The plans have been made, the reservations set, and the equipment ready. I have spoken to many local tackle shops and have been told that both sharks...

Cincyreefer can't seem to find your email but did you have a chance to talk to your supplier about the sharp nose? With warmer weather the shark pool bug has hit, ie have to add a new addition or two.

Cincy- just checking to see if you have any smooth hounds still available? Might be out that way on business and could pick up. Let me know, thanks:D

Hey all, know a guy who has a few tank raised clearnose skates he is trying to get rid of. If interested let me know.

Having worked at an aquarium for some time, I had to deal with a constant stream of calls about adopting pet sharks(or pirahana, arrowanas, etc) that outgrew the keeper's systems. They will not accept them. I am posting because just this past week a friend from the aquarium called to tell me...

cincyreefer, give me a call I forgot to get your number and am still interested in seeing what you guys get this week from LA. Still looking for bonnetheads and leopards!!:D :D :D

Has anyone else heard that leopard shark pups are no longer allowed to be collected for the trade? Any leopard caught has to be aleast 3'. Too many gravid females have been killed just to get 6-8" pups. A sad thing considering that leopards make great tank animals if given the right...
