- Finetooth - offered exclusively from Sharks Unlimited, Inc. This is a magnigicent small coastal species is cheaper and more impressive than a Blacktip. but they are husky & plump like 8ft bull sharks. They don't grow much over 4.5 ft. It can be kept with Bonnetheads & Sharpnose. If you don't have a 12-20ft in length or diameter pond, don't ask about these.
Pups - $ 600



Seems a little pricey for a shark that shows up dead
 
Wow, NONE of that info is true.

I love how they try and claim they are the only ones who offered some of those in 2002. I know of at least 3 other places that could get bonnets, sharpnose and bulls. How you ask? Is this just Matt ranting again? Nope, I collected with two of the three places after talking with the third!! So I KNOW they existed.

Beyond the obvious mistakes - I love the white tip reef comments. "This species swims less" - Yeah - DURING THE DAY. You don't see NOCTURNAL sharks swim much during the day. However, lights out and they are some of the most active sharks out there. :ROFL:
 
Also the problem is - He doesn't even seem following his own guidelines.

Even if your guidelines are based on flawed source - such as "Aquarium Sharks & Rays" by Scott Micheal. Then at least you could have some basic integrity - because you would have at least one well documented source to fall back on.

BTW "Aquarium Sharks & Rays" is the "Book" Ken Moran recommends getting for information about Shark Husbandary.

Now here's the thing to note - According to "Aquarium Sharks & Rays" - A requiem shark such as the Blacktip Reef, Bonnethead or Sharpnose - Should have - a tank - at least 4-5 times the maximum length of the Shark, and width at least 1.5 times max. length - with a depth roughly equal to the shark's average adult length. Or a Round pool that has the Diameter equal to at least 3 times the maximum length of the Shark.

Here's the minimum pool Diameters for the Requiems according to "Aquarium Shark & Rays"

- Atlantic Sharpnose Shark -12 ft (Ken Moran quotes - 8ft)
- Bonnetheads - 12-15 ft (Ken Moran quotes - 10ft)
- Blacktip Reef - 18-20 ft (Ken Moran quote -10ft)
- Finetooth - 18 ft (Ken Moran quotes - 12 ft)
- Bull - 30-36 ft (Ken Moran quotes -15-20ft)
- Sandbar - 24 ft
- Lemon - 33 ft (Ken Moran quotes - 10-15ft)
- Whitetip Reef - 18-21 ft

While these aren't actually larger enough to house an adult shark of these species - it would at least be enough to house a neonate or small pup if these species of about a year or two.

Also it should be noted that in one of my emails to Ken Moran - He admitted that he knew Scott Micheal's Book was a Flawed Source. But yet his quotes - tend to be about 50% less in Diameter than Scott Micheal's.
 
Someone post a link to this thread on SRC.... I can't seem to get on over there this week. I think it would be good for people to see this stuff.

update :
no reply to my email I sent on July 30, requesting my money back, Ken told me he would return my $ on July 30th if I had no sharks. I just tried again for a reply, I will not call him, I don’t think that will help any thing, pay pal tells me my 45 day passed to do any thing .so they are no help...
