lion fish with black tip shark

10,000 gallons is not enough still.Think 20,000-25,000 gallons.I'm not trying to flame you,as I am happy you are giving sharks your best care and they will end up in a better place with you caring for them.I just don't see the need for a blacktip. I had a blacktip at one point too. Cool to watch and have.But I had to give him away. Try to find a place that has the proper tank size,then keep him for as long as he will last in your setup.Then give him away.That's what I did at least.

For a 19" Blacktip Reef shark - a 2,500 gallon (15' x 11' x 2') pond may be fine for a little while(maybe a year).

A 10,000 gallon (at least 300 sq.ft.) pond would be okay for a Blacktip Reef until it reaches about 4 ft long.

But ultimately you will need a pond that is at least 700 sq.ft. (footprint) and has a volume of at least 25,000 gallons (about 5ft + deep).
