SHARKS

[sharkdealer]

The reason the florida blacktips (Carcharhinus limbatus) don't readily survive is that they have a really high oxygen demand. I currently have one that I brought back to CA from the Gulf of Mexico. The transport process is highly involved and complicated but they seem to do well once acclimated. The blacktips seen at some pet stores and wholesalers is Carcharhinus melanopterus. It ships very well in standard fish boxes and can easily survive 48 hour transits. The florida blacktips are also a little more high strung and therefore need more room than the C. melanopterus. Most sharks and rays are legal to keep in CA but freshwater sharks and rays are not (unless you have a permit). Leopards(Triakis semifasciata) cannot be posessed in CA unless they are at least 36" long and be prepared to show proof that you obtained it legally. If you want to collect a live one yourself you will need a marine aquaria collectors permit from the CA DFG.

ORNATTAPINNIS; do you think you can send me a shipment of shakrs in my area?
and SMOKEY; i found pictures of his leopard sharks(they are very active!!)
i couldn't find the black-tip.


so whoever posted this thread; needs to re-consider buying sharks since even the "in-active" ones can be very active(and need large swimming areas)

THe true Port Jackson is from Australia, you don't need to have some one import one to you. Ask a local shop to get one in for you.

Your in Perth huh? I think that's where Fear Factory recorder thier video to Cyberwaste. Yeah I know, way off the topic....

Welcome to MFK, as you found out the site is free, it just takes a few minutes to update the post counts.
There are many fine fish from Australia, including quite a few that just don't show up in the US. We also have several members there though offhand only Adelaide pops to mind. Some of my favorites are at least partly protected, the Galaxias like the jelly bean jollytail. Others like the golden perch just don't get shipped here.
Stone Like Fish, Capo, and Steve89 are all Aussies.
Smok3e is Dutch but lives in Perth!

What size did you transport? We were doing pups last time out. Animals were all about 20" or so. Our water was 1.022 with a DO of around 7.0-7.8 depending on how the 02 tank was working. Hardly oxygen starved, but at the same time, far from saturation at the temp we had. All transports were large enough for full swimming.
