witch 1 would be better to keep?
didn't find anything about the temp they both prefer neither
so what temp do others keep the tips on?

have been reading up on both and is it true blacktips like to jump?
also they eat other sharks? and stingrays?
but they won't eat eels? like whitetip do?

after seeing stopsharkfinnings shark tank i want 1

but after reading all kinda info i'm leading towards whitetips
as they don't need constant to move around like the blacktip has 2
so other sharks and stingrays and some fish can join the whitetip
as their diet are eels and other fish unless they are huge 2?

would lionfish fit with any? or will these be eaten 2?

i know they will need a pool/pond sized space how big should this be to house like 2/3 tips + others?

will be starting with 1 whitetip 50/65cm depending how big they are when sold

while preparing and building the bigger 1 pool/pond
 
Black tip reef sharks get big a need a LOT of space. (Not to be confused with regular black tip sharks - which are bigger and veryhard to keep alive in captive settings.)

White tip reef sharks get almost as big, but don't need as much space. They do best in groups, as they are pack hunters in the wild. (Also, not to be confused with Oceanic White Tips - which are massive open water swimmers).

Personally, I'd say you're going to need a round pool about 8 meters across for one to have an adult black tip reef. I'd suggest something 5 meters across or bigger for the white tip reef shark.

yeah thought the blacktip need more room cause they are active swimmers that keep on swimming unlike the whitetip reef shark
I decided not to take any as i'm going to amsterdam not knowing if i come back
didn't want my bros to take care of them either, just get some if i get back and setup a huge pool first
