You can't tell a full grown adult fresh water schooling cat fish from an oceanic shark pup?

I think it's funnier that this guy just called it a catfish

nurse sharks are not illegal in texas... i could go buy one for 150$ right now if i wanted too.... Actually i know plenty of people who have nurse sharks and other sharks. I myself have 3 bamboos and 1 horn shark. Also a white spotted bamboo.....

Ill take the nurse for 100$




Although i think nurse sharks should be illegal, they are not. It makes me sick they are readily available in all my lfs. Great thing to know if they are illegal in some states.

Look under "shark quick refrence sheet"

With a permit, you can posses one that has a fork length of 54".

No permit, its an illegal fish. Under 54" requires a permit that is exclusive to educational facilities and under rare circumstances can be granted to research facilities.

They are a game fish and are subject to game fish laws.

Ah cool, thanks I was just at an lfs today and they had a 30'' (rough eye estimate) nurse shark in a pond. But then again, this lfs has also imported asian aros so...

My question is did he keep the fish in salt water, or fresh water? lol

He went from a salt water nurse shark to a freshwater bala.....

Sorry, but those laws are FEDERAL laws. They apply to all states. Nurse sharks qualify as HMS. You need a federal dealer license to buy them and an HMS permit to sell one. Regardless of that, no one can legally posses one that is less than 54" at the fork with out a special permit for undersized animals, and those are not legal for sale or trade.

Any shop selling them is doing so illegally.

Bamboo sharks and horn sharks are not a federally regulated species. They are perfectly legal in the pet trade.
