Hi! My name it professor James dacian. I teach a marine biology course at the university of Miami. I see a lot of comments about this particular shark cage being too small. Now. This black tailed reef shark is just a pup. So at the moment, that tank is a decently good size. He will not die, until he gets full size.
@ajj6287 your talking absolute rubbish. No professor can be that dumb. any requiem shark needs the tank length to be a MINIMUM of 10 times the length by five times width in order for the shark to go through its swim and glide cycle so it does not get fatigued. your looking at 10,000 gallons required for this, not 1,000.
The sad fact is this shark has probably already "jumped" out of this tank and died years ago.
Yea, unfortunately that is the first thing I thought, well... Second, first I thought dam that's cool, then I thought, holy sh*t, that tank is way to small! Get rid of it dude!
This shark will die do to the size of the tank, either he will out grow the tank and die from inactivity or he will stop growing but is organs will continue to grow. i have a pet shark in a 10 gallon tank but he is a dwarf shark, he is non agressive and can only grow up to 3.5" so he will be fine.
@RelaxingReef He is a bala shark but i got him at a local fish store and its not the knid of fish, but its the fact that hes a dwarf shark. i went to petco to get it but thay told me that aquarium village had a dwarf balla shark, so see what you can get. Good luck. Check out my channel have a video of my tank.
This is animal abuse! That shark needs to keep swimming to breathe. Most sharks don't do good in captivity. I am a shark expert that learned everything from Sharkweek on Discovery channel. Please free willy!
I live in the Cayman Islands so the Black Tip is no stranger and believe me when I say this tank is far from suitable. They DO NOT stay that small. I can only wonder what he'll do with the shark when he comes to realize this himself.
I don't like criticizing people, but I have to agree with other comments about this being cruel. I know it's hella cool to own a shark, but do the right thing, and find a better home for it, please. I think it would be happier dead, no joke.
Sorry to jump on you about this, but think about it, for the animals sake.
Look that tank is way to small for a black tip reef shark, seriously that tank is barely big enough for a few freshwater ruby sharks never mind a bloody black tip if u want to have one of them knock down the Walls between two rooms build a huge tropical reef tank and then u can keep a black tip.....give that shark to sanctuary or let it free....u are an evil, sick idiot what the he'll is wrong with u.
fuk what everybody else say you a G for having a shark . It is too big for the tank tho but who cares you got a f*cking shark! I want a shark or some piranhas.
Black tips are not illegal, they are sold by Live Aquaria. However, most RESPONSIBLE retailers require proof that the buyer is purchasing the animal for a public aquarium facility or similar. This species is NOT suited to captive life at home, they are a pelagic species that needs to continuously swim non-stop in order to pass water over their gills. This fish should be in a 1000g tank MINIMUM, not that tiny glass box. Just because it's a fish, doesn't mean it isn't animal cruelty.
It is ILLEGAL to keep potentially dangerous, untamed animals in your home in most countries. Blacktips grow to be really big, big enough to eat the stupid owner of this poor fish I think..
i had 2 of these .. but at the time they were small babies i had bought from wal-mart.. shortly they killed eachother and floated to the top... Talk about cannabalism o.O
this is fucked up...trust me...ive wanted a pet shark for as long as i can remember...but the truth is...a shark that big cannot survive in a tank that small...that shark will die...this is animal cruelty
let me guess...youre 10 yrs old? considering its illegal to have this kind of shark as a pet and its cruel to keep it in a tank this small i would never even attempt to own one because i respect this animal too much and wouldnt put my selfish wants in front of the animals well being...
@theskilledwon Yea, this dude is crazy! That shark gets huge, would be perfect for a bamboo or smaller shark species. Beautiful aquarium but too small for this species. I bet his shark already died.
black tip reef sharks need to continuously swim in order to stay alive. If he stops, he WILL die... this isn't about jealousy, and who can afford what- I don't care How long your tank is, IT'S TOO SMALL. they require thousands of gallons at a MINIMUM....the saltwater hobby is about appreciation of the underwater world- not ABUSE.
@TheDerp2 Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.so that makes me a tiger expert because I read a kid's book when I was five about a tiger.
@bmxjon1 first of all dose is spelt does, so get it right and that is a lucky shark because it cant get hurt by a predator and its being taken care of. this owner feeds it and keeps it healthy. quit being jealous that he can afford the shark and you cant cause mommy said no.
you are a evil bastard and you should put him back where you got him. How would you like to be put in a tinny room and all you can do is hit walls and eat. Would You!
I don't care what other people say having a shark is fucken awesome I would love to have one in my 280 gallon tank shit is would be so fucken cool ima try no get one plz if u have another one plz message me back kuz I think this shit is cool as fuck :)
@HugoGarcia93 Don't get a black tip man. They get nearly as long as that tank. Go for a dog shark or something like that if you can't resist. Top out around 2 feet.
hey im looking for a nice shark to have and i seen this and i think your set up you have is pretty cool now im just wondering about how much you spent on this whole thing and i see the clown fish but i just want to make sure if that is a salt water tank or what? so i see that you said it was a black-tip reef shark. What type of food do you feed it?
Enough talk of illegal this illegal that.. What about when iraq was invaded illegally and iraqi men were tortured and women and children raped and murdered.. Wasnt it illegal for america and usa to do all that? So wheres the justice for that?? And you all moaning about a fish?? Ignorance.. Thats all am gonna say...
@70706scarface Idiot, stop making absurd statements. Do you realize how many stinking black tip reef sharks there are ??? Why scream and shout as if this guy is slaughtering sharks on a weekly basis!!!! Really, what is the difference with say a gold fish living in crap water in someones house and having this shark ??? You need to get to the oceans, get underwater and observe before you run that mouth !
@erikinhawaii i agree with you people have to stop saying that this shark is being tortured. cause fish grow to the size of the tank meaning it wont grow to the size it would be at in the ocean. so there really is nothing bad bout this shark being in this tank. its being fed and taken care of so its healthy.
@AquaReefs You have a 20g tank which has been set up for 3 mths, a few fish in it, and you say that you're aware the tank is not suitable for the new fish you put in recently. Then go on to say you're monitoring the growth and are planning to upgrade the tank sometime soon. So you're aware of how large fish can grow in a saltwater aquarium. Yet here you are, "Aquareef! Internet Hero!" telling everyone how this shark is quite happy in his environment? Strange...
It's a sand shark, yeah? But someone coloured in the black bits to make it look like a different kind of shark, maybe. Whatever. If it IS a Sand Tiger shark, then care to guess what length they grow to? Only 10' or so.
@jimmymurphy898 Why, because you say so? That doesn't mean you're right, just that you think you're right. But you're wrong mate. Wrong on the type of shark, and wrong about the size it'll grow to.
@jimmymurphy898 Wrong, it's a Reef Black Tip, and they do not stay that size. Notice the abrasions on it's snout. It wont last long in that tank, maybe another week or so at best.
ok, that HAS to be illegal to keep a critically endangered tropical black tip reef shark in your house in a tiny tank without a permit and not have professional care.
@ebolaoutkast I'd be really interested to know how you read fishes emotions! I havnt mastered that skill yet! Or are you just making presumptions based on human morality? If I raised you from birth in a prison, would you be happy or sad?
Just reading the comments on this video makes me laugh! people have a really strange sense of morality. Anyone who beleives that this shark shouldnt be in this tank should agree that no fish should be kept in a tank! How can you justify any animal being in captivity for the sake of our viewing pleasure? Zoo's are just as bad! If i kept you in a prison is that ethical? even if you had a chance to run around a court yard, you would still be a prisoner!
@beyondorginal mmm i count 2 idots dissing me, you being one of them! clearly 122 subscribers think otherwise! its not my fault if you cant take critisisim well! maybe you should try thinking before calling people's comments stupid!
@ebolaoutkast what i am saying is that you nor i can tell whether the clowns in that tank are more/less depressed than the shark! we are just guessing based on how happy we would be! and we are not fish. The main point i am making is that if someone truly cared about fish they would not place them in a tank. Any other argument is simply trying to justify guilt! I would probably want to hang myself no matter how big the tank if i knew i was spending the rest of my life in there!
@shardinio You are advocating for NO STANDARDS in animal care and trying to justify animal cruelty. According to you it makes no difference if the animal is in a wide aquarium or a squeeze cage. Stop BSing people. Your last sentence shows that YOU are projecting your emotions on the animal, not us.
@ebolaoutkast The whole point is i am NOT trying to justify it! I dont believe it is fair and am happy with my decision. I think you need to ask yourself why you keep fish in a tank? Is it for their benefit or yours? and i think we all know the answer to that one. I understand your point and agree that their are different levels of cruelty but lets not pretend that all fish keeping isnt cruel as it clearly is! re your last point. I dont think the fish care about my emotions ;)
@shardinio There are standards for the care of every living thing, including -children-. Just because there are poor keepers doesn't make the practice cruel, yet anyone with 2 braincells can tell a 6 ft free swimming shark cannot be happy in this aquarium. They need enough room to not exhibit stereotypical behavior. Don't be irrational. Are you against keeping every type of pet?
@ebolaoutkast I am in total agreement on the standards of care but you wouldnt keep a child in a prison and then argue about how much daylight per day it gets! You would be against the fact that it was in a prison in the first place! If you keep a cat then the cat has a choice of running away if its not happy (as long as you have a cat flap lol) but the fish does not choose to be in a tank, we put it in there with no choice in the matter! I find this to be pretty rational!
@ebolaoutkast haha! ive had my cat for 12 years and he goes and comes as he pleases! I wouldnt call that stupid. I think it enhances the quality of his life as he gets to hunt some mice and do things more like he naturally would.
@ebolaoutkast I obviously know what you mean about the shark but I am trying to make the point that it is double standards to care about animals and then but fish in a tank! Nearly all fish migrate at some point in their lives and it annoys me people who get passionate about fish's rights whilst holding them prisoners in a tank. I know that keeping a child in a box is worse than keeping it in a 7 foot cell but the fact is they should not be imprisoned at all! thats mt point.
@shardinio I understand your point but why won't you apply it to land animals? No animals 'wish' to be "imprisoned". Land animals migrate and we even control when our wolf relatives get to exercise and use the bathroom. Fish are not as smart as you think they are.
@ebolaoutkast I do apply it to land animals. I think zoo's are cruel places that pretend to be about conservation when they are really there for our viewing pleasure. Dogs have built a symbiotic relationship up with humans over time and have been bred for the purpose. I'm not saying it is right but they would be lost without us now. They exercise more choice than fish do. I don't agree that fish aren't smart as there is no way of knowing and the definition of smart is open to interpretation
@shardinio But of course zoos are cruel! Not unlike allowing your well-fed domestic cat roam free to play with and torture wildlife!! Wow, you are a joke.
Keeping fish in tank is wrong anyway so anyone moaning that this is cruel best not have a fishtank at all! A fish in a tank is like a bird in a cage! I am setting up a reef tank now but am not so hypocritical to say that it is fair to the fish! I do it for my pleasure not theirs!

@Vikingraider10 They stay about that length

@jimmymurphy898 Why, because you say so? That doesn't mean you're right, just that you think you're right. But you're wrong mate. Wrong on the type of shark, and wrong about the size it'll grow to.

@jimmymurphy898 Wrong, it's a Reef Black Tip, and they do not stay that size. Notice the abrasions on it's snout. It wont last long in that tank, maybe another week or so at best.

ok, that HAS to be illegal to keep a critically endangered tropical black tip reef shark in your house in a tiny tank without a permit and not have professional care.

@ebolaoutkast I'd be really interested to know how you read fishes emotions! I havnt mastered that skill yet! Or are you just making presumptions based on human morality? If I raised you from birth in a prison, would you be happy or sad?

Just reading the comments on this video makes me laugh! people have a really strange sense of morality. Anyone who beleives that this shark shouldnt be in this tank should agree that no fish should be kept in a tank! How can you justify any animal being in captivity for the sake of our viewing pleasure? Zoo's are just as bad! If i kept you in a prison is that ethical? even if you had a chance to run around a court yard, you would still be a prisoner!

@shardinio If the animal can choose between being content in captivity and suffering in captivity, which would it choose?
ebolaoutkast 1 month ago
@ebolaoutkast what i am saying is that you nor i can tell whether the clowns in that tank are more/less depressed than the shark! we are just guessing based on how happy we would be! and we are not fish. The main point i am making is that if someone truly cared about fish they would not place them in a tank. Any other argument is simply trying to justify guilt! I would probably want to hang myself no matter how big the tank if i knew i was spending the rest of my life in there!

@shardinio You are advocating for NO STANDARDS in animal care and trying to justify animal cruelty. According to you it makes no difference if the animal is in a wide aquarium or a squeeze cage. Stop BSing people. Your last sentence shows that YOU are projecting your emotions on the animal, not us.
ebolaoutkast 1 month ago
@ebolaoutkast The whole point is i am NOT trying to justify it! I dont believe it is fair and am happy with my decision. I think you need to ask yourself why you keep fish in a tank? Is it for their benefit or yours? and i think we all know the answer to that one. I understand your point and agree that their are different levels of cruelty but lets not pretend that all fish keeping isnt cruel as it clearly is! re your last point. I dont think the fish care about my emotions ;)
shardinio 1 month ago
@shardinio There are standards for the care of every living thing, including -children-. Just because there are poor keepers doesn't make the practice cruel, yet anyone with 2 braincells can tell a 6 ft free swimming shark cannot be happy in this aquarium. They need enough room to not exhibit stereotypical behavior. Don't be irrational. Are you against keeping every type of pet?
ebolaoutkast 1 month ago
@ebolaoutkast I am in total agreement on the standards of care but you wouldnt keep a child in a prison and then argue about how much daylight per day it gets! You would be against the fact that it was in a prison in the first place! If you keep a cat then the cat has a choice of running away if its not happy (as long as you have a cat flap lol) but the fish does not choose to be in a tank, we put it in there with no choice in the matter! I find this to be pretty rational!

@shardinio Also it's stupid to let your cat outdoors. I'm sure as hell not giving any of my pets a 'choice to run away'.

@ebolaoutkast haha! ive had my cat for 12 years and he goes and comes as he pleases! I wouldnt call that stupid. I think it enhances the quality of his life as he gets to hunt some mice and do things more like he naturally would.

@ebolaoutkast I obviously know what you mean about the shark but I am trying to make the point that it is double standards to care about animals and then but fish in a tank! Nearly all fish migrate at some point in their lives and it annoys me people who get passionate about fish's rights whilst holding them prisoners in a tank. I know that keeping a child in a box is worse than keeping it in a 7 foot cell but the fact is they should not be imprisoned at all! thats mt point.
shardinio 1 month ago
@shardinio I understand your point but why won't you apply it to land animals? No animals 'wish' to be "imprisoned". Land animals migrate and we even control when our wolf relatives get to exercise and use the bathroom. Fish are not as smart as you think they are.
ebolaoutkast 1 month ago
@ebolaoutkast I do apply it to land animals. I think zoo's are cruel places that pretend to be about conservation when they are really there for our viewing pleasure. Dogs have built a symbiotic relationship up with humans over time and have been bred for the purpose. I'm not saying it is right but they would be lost without us now. They exercise more choice than fish do. I don't agree that fish aren't smart as there is no way of knowing and the definition of smart is open to interpretation

@shardinio But of course zoos are cruel! Not unlike allowing your well-fed domestic cat roam free to play with and torture wildlife!! Wow, you are a joke.

Keeping fish in tank is wrong anyway so anyone moaning that this is cruel best not have a fishtank at all! A fish in a tank is like a bird in a cage! I am setting up a reef tank now but am not so hypocritical to say that it is fair to the fish! I do it for my pleasure not theirs!
