Finding Sharks

[rhettd02]

I just recieved a 625 gallon tank, and I was wondering where a good store where I could order a baby shark. I know your not allowed to post other stores on this site, but I was wondering if somebody could send me an email with a link or some information. If this is not a good idea please tell me. It's not a problem to take care of the tank. Please send me a link via email at RhettD03@yahoo.com .... Thanks.

I have alot of good resources, for sharks, but first thing...I'd need to know your experiance level, concerning sharks.
What type of filtration are you planning for the tank, what kind of tank mates, etc.

and demesions as well cause that can affect it. i know this is riducuolous but a 6x2x6 (lxwxh) is not enough bottom surface area

There is a guy that owns a large saltwater/snake shop about 15 minutes from my house. I will get him to do all the major stuff like setting up the filter and maintenance. I have had a few saltwater aquariums in the past, with lionfish, eels, triggers etc. 96 x 30 x 25 tall. Please tell me what size tank I need, I will go larger.
Thanks.

That's not 625 gallons... about 320 give or take a little.

Woops sorry wrong measurements. The tank is actually like 530 gallons. Im sorry for the mix up 96 x 37½ x 36. Sorry for all the mistakes, long story.

The guy who owns the shop told me to ask around on fourms for decent stores that sell sharks. His supplier or whatever is no longer in buisness due to hurrice katrina.

no offense but you are new to the board, and are already mixing your words up for one reason or another, which means if you were serious about keeping sharks you would already know what breed , sepcies name, genuis name etc. you would want. my point is do some seriosu research and then people would be alot more willing to help you out, ALSO pictures of this tank would help GREATLY so we know you actually have the room for a shark. Im am in no way doubting you, but pictures say 1000 words!!

Thanks for the help. I think im just going to go with a reef tank with some eels or something. Thanks for the help!
