shark ok in 120 gallon?

[TRe]

ok i think they were angler fish

i still think the flashlight fish would be cool fish to keep but i know its probally not such a good idea

 

[TRe]

i was at one of the lfs's today and they had a 2,000 gallon tank with 2 greatwhite sharks in it (about 2 feet each) dam there cool as f**k he said they get to be 7 feet and when they get to be 3 feet they either give them to seaworld or if they dont want them then they release them into the ocean..and then at another lfs they had shark eggs and you could actually see the shark swimming around inside the egg (banded shark) only $30

yes well those weren't great whites, they cant be kept in captivity and exceed 18 ft but i am sure they were cool

if there was one thing that Jaws 4 taught me, its that Great Whites cant be kept in captivity. Althought I do think Ecotank and Lotus are having some success recently in their pool, and rewritting the rule of great whites in captivity

can we cut the calling out and dissing?--you guys are ruining the casual atmosphere

for the record, there is a flashlight fish in finding nemo

Tre, i think it would be wise to take care of the space requirements for your current fish before considering anything else

they were probably black tip reef sharks

Im afraid they were not Great White Sharks. The longest peroid of time holding a great white in captivity was 21 days. It was recently broken by the Monterey Bay Aquarium that held a 6 foot individual for about a year. It was in millions of gallons of water.

They also get in excess of 14ft.

what are you talking about dbacksrat? there was no calling out or dissing simple informing, i think you need to read the posts more carefully

Man, I want a black tip reef shark.

 

[aresgod]

I would love to empty a pool and throw one in there

 

[OCCFan023]

what would you need to have a black tip?
is it like possible to have one if you get a big enough tank or do you need like a 200 gallon tank with state aquarium type water quality and care?

 

[TRe]

read the thread from the begining.. this was my original question...doesnt look like ill be getting a shark

 

[S.Reef]

Minimum size for a blacktip is about a thousand gallons. When they reach adult size-about 6 feet youll want them in at least a few thousand gallons of water.
