Hi every one I was hoping to find a vender on this forum that mite have a small :D white tip reef shark and tell me what would the cost be to get her to SFO airport.
I was hoping for a female if possible, I have a male black tip reef shark already in my pond. in my 2000 gal pond I show on a thread on this forum.

please PM me
thanks for reading
 
I have been told my pond is still to small for a white tip shark.

even with the addition I just finished, thanks any way
 
Sorry everyone in advance i just cant help myself.

your pond is grossly to small for even just the black tip, let alone with a possible addition of a white tip. Please do not purchase a white tip, let them live in the ocean and have a full life. As responsible aquarists we have to make sure that any specimen that we get are collected safely and will be able to live out their full life happily with plenty of room to swim. A shark like either a black or white tip shark will likely not be able to live their full life in a 2000 gal. pond, they need ponds the size of olympic swimming pools or larger.

so please, do not purchase a white tip shark so that we can all appreciate them in the wild for what will hopefully be many decades to come

Well said. :iagree:
 
i dunno if your in sd, but there's a white tip at fountains aquarium in san diego. its only 200. i dunno if its a white tip reef shark tho. but it looks just like one. its already like 18 inches and the guy at the store said it could get like 6ft lol. i don't know crap about salt water tho, i jus saw it as i made my rounds
