The shark tank that I helped install just before x-mas has a new inhabitant, a 3ft black tip reef shark which is exactly what the owner wanted for his tank. My friend gave him a estimate of $4,000 for a shark with a guarantee & Jay (the tank owner) stopped by a local shop to ask about a cost from them on a shark. Immediately the sales person snagged the shop owner & they informed Jay they had a 3 foot black tip reef shark (which is the reason Jay built the tank) that needed a new home!! They talked a little more & sold him the shark for $900!! He has been in captivity for over 6 months prior to Jay getting him & he eat's like a pig!!
I do have a few not so great pics so if someone is interested in posting them for me shoot me a email. They are kind fuzzy but you can at least get the idea of the size, I cannot wait to go back to see him!!
My friend was at his house last week just to check on things & to install another tank in Philly. Jay told my friend again how pleased he was with everything & that when they move (3-5 years) that he wants a 20ft by 20ft tank.
