Is keeping a shark legal in singapore ?

[Welly]

Hi I am a new hobbist and was wondering if any farms in singapore sells baby sharks.

And what is the smallest size aquarium for a shark.

What kind of fish can be mix with it ?

[stackdeck]

What species of shark are you looking at?

[Snoopyhamburger]

Yes they are

Depending on the species lol.

I've seen Cat Sharks everywhere.

Saw a Blacktip in a LFS but not sure if it's for sale..

And keep fishes that can hold its own against the shark and is of some size E.G. Tangs,Foxfaces,Tusks,Triggers etc

[Harlequinmania]

You need a big tank to keep shark or a pond

[Welly]

Usually how much will a baby black tip cost ?

[Welly]

I have a 4ft marine tank now and a 6ft freshwater tank so basically if I buy a baby shark and grows larger , I am thinking of converting my 6ft tank to a marine tank.

Got ppl keep shark in swimming pool... Sp convert to reef pool..

Anybody knows how much will a baby blacktip cost in singapore ?

[Snoopyhamburger]

500+ I'd say.

And you gotta consider the tank size too.

Overall maintaining a shark aquarium is abit overkill.And 6ft is too small for a Black Tip.Wanna stay in a toilet stall for the rest of your life?They can grow up to 6ft.

And the shark will be the least expensive of all the equipment you will need,like a tank[Needs to be round],Food,water changes,health and so on.

Would strongly advise you to consider your decision..

Or you can go ahead and watch the poor shark die slowly.

Sorry for harshness but it's true.

Yup. U can keep a black tip in a 322 tank.but cannot move at all. Will u want that? Stress the poor thing. If u go read up. U will read that pple will advise the biggest possible tank for it. Like a 10ft by 8ft by 4ft for it. But even that size. Still got pple say too small. I'm actually considering a shark tank in the future. Probably in the range of 10ft by 4ft by 4ft. Of coz some pple will say it's too small

[Snoopyhamburger]

Yes yes,but IMO Black Tips are probably better off living where they should be,not some inadequate aquarium.

[Welly]

Ok is there any smaller sharks ?

[Ahhyi]

Cat sharks tend to be about 2 ft. Will still need a large enough tank for it. Some carpet sharks will be good too. But more expensive.

[Ahhyi]

And yes. The shark is the cheapest thing for the setup unless u get stuff like shark rays and nurse sharks

[Welly]

Whats the price for a baby bambo shark

And a baby cat shark ?

[Ahhyi]

Plus minus $20. It's the feeding. I feed them everyday with shrimp and sotong.

[Welly]

May I know where to buy near yishun ?

[Ahhyi]

Can be frequently found at ah beng in pasir ris.

Baby bamboo shark is easy to keep but the food sizes must cut according to the mouth for bamboo to eat. Loves cut pieces of squid, prawn and kuning. Can grow into adults in one year. Becareful bamboo shark like to hide and tumble coral if keep in coral tanks.

[Welly]

But where to buy bamboo cat shark ?

I went to ah beng but no bamboo cat shark.

[titustitus]

[Snoopyhamburger]

[reeflex]
