Most Overcrowded Tank I Have Ever Seen

Black tips are one of those animals that are always moving. They never stop. If that thing was about 5 feet wider It would probably be a lot more better off.

I truely think that sharks should not even be up for sale. Fish are one thing, but sharks need special care and live food to stay sane. Maybe its just me but sharks, especially black tip reef sharks should not be pets.

sharks do not need live food to stay sane. They dont need anymore special care than most fish either. They just need vitamins and pristine water conditions. Some sharks like bamboo cat sharks, port jackson and the smaller sharks are fine for the home hobby if the tank is correct

I am not so much worried about the Black Tip, as I am for that Bamboo. He time is definitely limited being in the same tank as the Black Tip. One day the owner is going to be trying to feed the bamboo, then Crunch!! the Black tip snaps on the Bamboo instead....

Would a black tip reef shark fit in my 300 gallon? That Shark looks awsome!
Did you guys even read what he said. He said that you needed a minimum of a 120 gal for a black tip. Did i read that right on his page? That is not right at all! They need over 1000 gal. He also goes on to saying that you can cut the fins of the shark and eat it. This guy is messed up.

I didnt see that part. That really sucks. These guys need the ocean. That is where they belong or an aquarium. But Tampa has one he still doesnt look right in that huge 100,000g plus tank they have him in.

Yeah he also says he fed it strey cats from the neighborhood.
Crypt, I agree. I know the tank your speaking about here at the aquarium. They just constantly look like they'd like to dart in a straight line at 100 mph. Instead just swims circles.

He was joking about the feeding stray cats, and that they need a 120 Gal, and fins growing back...
But in the comments ppl keep bashing him about his tank, and all he can say is "look at my profile" which is where he said that they need 120 gal tank.
I think he was too scared to talk about how his tank is too small, because he knew it, so he just hid behind sarcasm.
PPl were telling him the tank is too small, but he would just reply sarcastically. what a douche.
The shark is probably happier dead than it was in the tank. poor shark

There are many breeds of FW sting ray. Again, these fish did not grow to that size in that tank... There are a million videos that can be posted.

Yes, just as the pico with a full grown hippo is. I don't doubt that these fish were stuffed into this tank, but they didn't grow there. They were placed there. You can tell by the fish that are in the tank and the size that they are.

Like in some books, advertisements, or other publicity stunts right?
