Ok, I'm in touch with him... he's claiming that these are G. cuvier, and that the total price is $5k as is (no LAG), and that he gets them from a Japanese supplier. As for the captive bred labeling, he says he can only go by what the supplier tells him.

Very odd. He doesn't show up on any scammer lists, but this strikes me as total BS.

Nothing about it sounds right to me. I think its safe to say not to bother with this guy.

IIRC this guy is actually legit. I've seen Bulls offered before and I'm sure almost any shark can be had if you're willing to pay... I just think based on this guy's price list he's full of it.

Edit: Scratch that... a few threads here indicate he's full of it too.

Yeah... sounds like BS to me. He doesn't behave in a professional manner at all.

I wouldn't bother with shark supply either. I believe they have something to do with Ken Moran and he is not the most reliable source for sharks and is pretty shady. The only non wholesale suppliers I would recommend for real ORV sharks would be myself, Blacktip17, and sharkdealer. Anybody else your gambling.

 

[kasaki89]

wouldn;'t he need a permit to even order the sharks in from japan ?

 

[turbo253]

No just an import license. canada may be different than the us.

 

[kasaki89]

you still need a license for things like that.

What are you basing that statement on? I know a shark keeper in Canada and he has no special permit.
