Black Tip Reef Shark Tank Size

[gavintrayne]

I was wondering what would be the minimum circular tank size for a black tip reef shark. I don't plan on getting one just curious. I know you need a lot of experience to be able to care for such a fish and a lot of money as well.

20'-25' diameter

A LFS had one in a 12' X 6' X 6' tank but the shark didn't seem happy at all. But yeah a 20' - 25' diameter tank should be good for one.

Here are some pictures of a concrete tank that one of my LFS houses three black tip reef sharks and a giant grouper in. If I had to guess, I would say it's near 20-24 feet long by 10-12 feet wide. They said it measures out to 17,000 gallons. All of this in Cincinnati, Ohio. Lol.

Lol, when I say LFS, it really takes me about 45 minutes to get there. My closest LFS is actually Gerbers Tropical Fish in Dayton, which is only 15-20 minutes from me. I think they have a much better selection than the place in Cincy, but I think the place in Cincy has a much better equipment selection. If you ever have a chance to make it up to Gerbers, it is well worth the trip to check out their stocking.

I would love to go there but doubt I'd ever be able to make it out that far l, luckily my LFS can special order me almost any fish I want.

Minimum circular tank/pond size for an average adult(5 feet/1.52 meters) Blacktip reef is about 25 feet/7.6 meters in diameter.

How is this possible? Are they still successful? Are the sharks happy and alive? I would love to know more about this person!
