Does Anyone no where i can get a pet shark?

Question

Im looking for one about 1 to 3 foot long and i want an actuall shark not a catfish or something like that

Answer 1

What size tank do you have?

Sharks need VERY large tanks, which most home aquariums are not.

If you don't have the proper enviroment (wich I HIGHLY doubt you do), then you should not get a shark. It will just die.

EDIT: The perfect size aquarium? Do you realize how large that is? We have a 120 gallon aquarium that is almost 6 feet long, but less then a foot and a half wide. The poor thing wouldn't even be able to turn around. The perfect size aquarium would have to be around 500 gallons or bigger... imagine a fish tank the size of your car. That's a VERY big VERY expensive fish tank. A tank that most people dont have room for

Answer 2

No, I don't because sharks are not pets. They grow larger and then people have no idea what to do with them. Bad for the owner and worse for the shark!! : (

Answer 3

your choices for freshwater are are ID sharks or bala but the balas are actually minows shaped like sharks. ID'S are more agressive and live longer.  both can grow over a foot.

Answer 4

I have bought Baby Sharks at the Pet shop. I know it has to be salt water, but you can give it a try, and see how long they will live and grow!

Good luck to you, and let me know!

See that site for info on what sharks can be housed in the home aquarium.  But be advised that even the smallest shark species require rather large tank.  Bamboo, catsharks, horn, and carpet sharks stay within the size limits and are relatively low on the active scale.

Many fish stores occasionally carry sharks and you can also get them from a site like aquabid.

Be advised that stores don't always carry suitable sharks like leopard sharks for example that get upwards of 6-7ft in lenght and can frequently be found in stores.
