I am going to be selling my tank in a few months and I am putting the fish up for sale. The following fish are for sale:
1 leopard shark (female, 20 inches) - $200
3 horn sharks (1 male, 2 female, all ~18 inches) - $150 each ($400 for all three)
1 green moray eel (~30 inches) - $40
1 zebra moray eel (~24 inches) - $30
1 blue spot grouper (8 inches) - $30
These fish are very healthy and have been in my tank for 2 to 3 years. One of the horn sharks has no eyes. She has been blind since I got her. If you are familiar with horn sharks then you know that they are prone to eye disease. My blind horn shark eats as well as any of the other sharks and actually swims as much as the leopard shark. I will not ship any of these fish, they must be picked up in Gainesville, FL. If you are interested please email me at acarroll@ufl.edu or call (352)359-6927
Note: Please make certain your system (tank size) is sufficient to adequately support these fish. Also, any emails from people whose sole purpose in life is to preach to others, particularly those who enjoy keeping sharks, will be ignored. Don't waste your time. And please don't waste everyone else's time by posting it to this thread.
Regards

I would say either shark shoud be in a multi thousand gallon pond, at a minimum. these are big, active swimming sharks, that get 6' long. Figure 10,000 gallons to keep 1.

Horn sharks seldomly exceed two and half feet in length. On rare occasion females may reach three and half feet. They are slow growing, relatively long lived sharks that spend the majority of their time resting on the bottom, and become a little more active at night. I would recommend a tank with at least a 30 inch width (front to back), more obviously being preferable. Although a slightly smaller tank could easily suffice for quite a few years. Female leopard sharks on the other hand can grow to 4-6 feet in length and spend most of the time swimming. The California state record is around 40 lbs. However, they are not like requiems in that they are slower and can turn around without swimming forward (in tight corners). The growth rate depends heavily on feeding and water temperature. More food and warmer water causes faster growth. A single leopard this size could be kept in a 30 inch wide (and at least 6 feet long) tank for another 2 years but it will definitely need something along the lines of 10,000 gallons to be kept for its entire life span. Both of these sharks need cooler water (low seventies or cooler). I'm just going on my own and a friend's experiences here. Others are likely to disagree.

How big is your tank and how much are you selling it for? I'm in Orlando so I could come pick it up if all works out. Thanks.
