Even in huge public aquariums, 7-gills always look banged up. They have them at all the local aquariums (Monterey, Aquarium of the Bay, and Academy of Sciences), and every single 7-gill has rubbing issues.

How big is your shark pool turbo? I'd love to see pics of your lemon - I've always been a bit concerned about getting one because of their aggressive nature, but they're gorgeous when they're older.

this dean guy sounds like a loser, im pretty sure he posted a thread here a while back about scalloped hammerheads.
on another note i think its awesome that you had a sevengill, they are my favorite sharks species and its too bad they dont do well in captivity, do you have any pictures of it or you setup?

So, here are the three addresses important for filing police reports or DFG complaints on Dean:

"Work" address:

1851 McCarthy Blvd
Milpitas, CA

Church address where he holds some fish - I'm sure he'd be very embarrassed to have people make a fuss here:

1000 S. Park Victoria Dr.
Milpitas, CA 95035

HOME address:

397 S. Park Victoria Dr.
Milpitas, CA 95035

This posting is for informational and prosecution reasons only. In no way do I advocate or approve of any non-legal repercussions for this scumbag (just covering my ass).

Seems like you had it coming. When you smelled something fishy you should have backed out on the deal. You didn't. You had several opportunities to do so, especially when he was trying to sell it to someone else. But instead of doing so, you asked that person to back out. It sounded like you were desperate for the fish and willing to gamble. After knowing he was a scumbag you kept the deal going. That makes you a sucker. It takes two to tango and I feel whining on the internet and playing the victim is no better than a scumbag himself.
