A lot of you are critical about us putting black tips in this aquarium, but let us assure you, we did our homework, and they will live a long happy life in this aquarium.

Then I assume you are aware that these sharks only have 2-4 pups and are considered to be a possibly threatened species. Reason being;

"Blacktip Reef Sharks are often the bycatch from other fisheries and are often caught and wasted. The Blacktip populations are declining, and so are the population of many other shark species. These sharks are used for Shark fin soup, in which a shark's fin is cut off and the rest of the shark is thrown into the water to die. This is done by the thousands, which may be a big factor in why the population is declining. The numbers of Blacktip Reef Sharks have declined in recent years."
As stated at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacktip_Reef_Shark

I sure hope someone qualified and has experience with requiem sharks will be taking care of them. Maybe then they'll have a chance to reproduce. Seems like other choices would have been more ethical.

ReefRhythm,

To Reef Central

ReefRhythm · 05/30/2006, 02:40 PM

Thanks Mhurley! Glad to be here!

Nu2SW · 05/30/2006, 03:26 PM

IM sure that we all know what shark fin soup is.

Also, most fish tend not to reproduce in captivity, and if they did, I am sure that this owned "Who is very well off" would donate them to an aquarium. They are always looking for something like this and take in donations.

I don't see where it is saying they are threatened species,

And wheres the BAN STICK....

Nu2SW · 05/30/2006, 03:51 PM

Yes, hes angry because he has a king pic... LOL that is the most ridiculous comment ive read.

You do not know a person and yes you state he is a naturally angry person,because he has a KING KONG AVATOR..... ThAt is ASININE.

Whats the rule of when you assume? :-)

mhurley · 05/30/2006, 03:59 PM

Everybody done now?

Move along.

Nu2SW · 05/30/2006, 04:02 PM

Nope were not, don't know him...

THink for just a second..... He has a 4000 gallon tank, that had to have his house built around it., Has a huge house, own car dealerships..... Even if he doesn't know the first think about Saltwater fish, You don't think he has someone that handles the cleaning and maintenance...

I would believe so...

he also said he may be wrong.....

CANT WE ALL GET ALONG.... ITS MY BIRTHDAY AND I DONT WANNA HAVE TO BE MEAN.... LOL

but it is my b-day and im going home.. good night all

dga · 05/30/2006, 05:21 PM

that rear wall in the tank is tacky looking.

reefnewbie54321 · 05/30/2006, 05:37 PM

Is this the same tank?

http://groups.msn.com/TheSharkTank/home.htm

its from a guy on another board ... the tanks are pretty simaler. Both "wall tanks" and he keeps 2 black tips aswell

He also stated that the black tips would outgrow the tank and he would need to upgrade or build a shark pond for all those who were harping about it.
