first time i saw a black shark today, i want one, any1 know how much they are in the uk and i got a 125 gal will that house him for life. thanks

Unfortunately a 125 won't house one for life. It would be sufficient for a few years, but not life. Shouldn't be too hard to get hold of, although I've not seen any in the shops for a while. Most shops should be able to get one eaily enough. Keep an eye out on eBay and aquarist-classifieds.co.uk , I've seen a few 8 to 12 inchers for sale recently. Of course the 125 won't last so long if you get on at that size. You could try a harlequin/ variegated shark, grow to about a foot so the 125 would be good for life.
