Does anybody know of a good place to buy sharks, specifically black tip reef sharks?

I've been looking at some of your recent posts, and it seems like you don't even have a tank to put it in. Right now you should be more concerned with building a large enough tank for one, not looking to buy one.

Build the tank, then find a shark once it's done

Remember that for something like this, you have resources. USE THEM.

You have us, you have experts in your area, you have google and youtube. Utilize as many resources as you can find.

For a project this size, there will be people who are willing to help along the way. That's just what us fish nerds do. We live for this kinda stuff.

Try to set up a meeting with the biologist at your local aquarium and tell him what you're doing; and I'm sure they'll help you out. And talk to people at your LFS, and see if they're capable of helping you out.

Also, what kind of budget do you have? This will not be a cheap build.

I was thinking around $8000. Also do you think a 6 feet diameter by 4 feet height cylindrical aquarium is good?
 
I think you really need to do your homework before jumping into this.

More like a 25'x10'x4'

And $8000 might buy you some glass.
You're looking at a $30,000+ project

A good supplier will require seeing your tank / fitration set up first.
It will need to be up and running.
You are going to be WELL beyond $8000. And a 6 ft shark won't fit in a 6 ft circle.

I'm gonna lock this. You can keep all your Black tip questions to one thread.
