A pot shop owner told me today that all saltwater sharks with the exception of corals and banded sharks are banned from public sale. He told me you can nolonger get a black tip legally. Could someone please confirm this or shed light on what is going on. I have found nothing that even reports this, but I an't find any black tips at the moment.
Sharks Banned?

Well - as Matt (Zoodiver) stated there's no universal ban on blacktip reefs. However the reason you might not be able to find any in your local fish shops - could be because there are some local laws which restrict the sell of Blacktip Reefs.
So you need to check you local laws.

Make sure you post us some pictures of your Black Tip if you find one mate. Also give us some tank shots as well!
I'm working on so many projects right now there is no way this is going to be soon but it did worry me when I heard what this guy was saying. Hopefully toward the end of 2012 I'll be looking into the tank. I think starting out it would be 12'x5'x3' ply wood pond or a swimming pool style like some people have here.
