shark needed for home tank

[krj-1168]

Yeah - a true Tiger shark neonate likely wouldn't even fit in a 10 gallon aquarium.

Matt,
I'll do some checking on Zebras if you're interested. They were hard to come by this year. I only got my hands on one and he went to a guy in NY. I can see if that guy is interested in selling him to you. If not, I'll keep my eyes open for another opportunity. What is the minimum and max. length you can accept?

I'm looking for a bigger one. Something at least 3 feet or more would be nice, but at this point I'm open to anything. I've got a 6,000 plus gallon quaratine tank and it will end up in an 84,000 gallon display - so I can be very accomidating to size.

how much would it be to ship to lawrenceburg,IN 47025

If you get up north towards Gary, Aquascapes in Hobart sells Tank bred shark eggs for about $20 each. Their corals are fairly cheap as well.

i'm in singapore, but three days ago i saw a neonate shark that i can only identify as zebra. yes, Stegostoma fasciatum. but it was about 4 inches. is this a correct ID?

That seems small, but if that is true, confirm it for me and see what it would take to ship it to the US! I've been looking for one.

Agree with Matt. That seems very small.

Since everything I've read suggests that Zebra pups are born at about 8-10" in length.

At 4" - my guess would be it's a Zebra or Indonesian Bamboo (Chiloscyllium hasselti). Which is sometimes misidentified as the Zebra Shark (Stegostoma fasciatum). But naturally it's hard to be certain without an actual good photo of the pup.

someone also asked a similar question on wet web media: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/sharkidfaq.htm
looks like the same species to me.
also, i might be wrong about the size, but don't think it's eight inches... also probably going down this thursday.
oh, and they were selling it for about 40 singapore dollars. heh.
the assistant i asked wasn't even aware of a shark pup being in stock... told me it was probably some sort of bamboo.

I get Bamboo sharks here in the states for $50.00 heh.

We've got a small pup like the one pictured. Looks like an indonesian bamboo shark.
