Fs: Nurse Shark

[70'*Chevelle]

I have a 2 ft long nurse shark I want $150.00 for him. I need the tank he is in for snakes, so he has to go. He is doing great eating peeled raw shrimp from the grocery store. Please only people with 135 gallon tank or bigger. I will have pics later on tonight.

Thank you
Virgil

What the heck do you do with it when it gets bigger? I mean, I am sure you can get bigger tanks, but what about when he gets over 6 feet?

[ndforspd24]

cook him! :D

The shark will be making the decisions then...

[93 Blk Coupe]

put him in your pool, and play catch me if you can...:D

[ShawnQ]

damn, that would be a bad ass fish to have..

You wouldn't happen to know anyone with a tank I could buy as well, do you?

[70'*Chevelle]

for a bigger tank check the news paper, I was going to keep him for a while, cause I have a 360 gallon tank, but I also have other things that I had to put in their instead, and I have a 135 gallon, but that is what my african cichlids are in and I need room for the snake eggs that I have that will hatch soon so that is why I need his tank, but I still have another tank that is smaller that I can put my sting ray and puffer fish in.

here is him and the sting ray

[lilgeezy]

thats so bad ass, you can't get these fish at any normal petmart. nice collection :D good luck, i wish i had a tank bigger than 20 gal... :)

[ls1eater]

how much would a fish tank big enough for the shark cost and were can you buy sharks at.

[70'*Chevelle]

Dallas North Aquarium and Pet Boutique sell them occasionally, and both of these places are where you could buy a tank at or try the newspaper.

[GRAYHORSE]

Nice shark, my parents have a 105 gallon, but its a 105 tall. I dont think it would be long enough for him to swim around.
It would be fun though. They have a large lunar wrass that thinks he's king. What would pet boutique give you on a trade in?? Good Luck on Selling.

[70'*Chevelle]

yeah I had a lunare wrasse one time but my nassau grouper kick his ass, so he went to my reef tank. The shark will only bother things that he can fit in his mouth, like I had a lemon peel angel, a yellow tang, and a porcupine puffer that he has ate. Pet shops will only give what they would pay for it, which is about $40-$50 maybe. If anyone wants any other fish I can get them for a cheaper price than pet shops just let me know, and also corals.

Thanks
Virgil

Hey virgil. Hows the chevelle coming? I put exhaust on the mustang a few weeks ago and its getting new springs, shocks, struts probably next week..then going to the paint booth next month. Ill send you some pics when done.

[GRAYHORSE]

Yea, they bought a grouper that ate two big damsels and a tomato clown.
I just bought a bunch of africans. I wish i would have known about your hookup. Do you have any smaller tanks laying around. Maybe a 55 or 75?? Thanks, Greg

You don't happen to have a protein skimmer you need to get rid of, do you?

Katie

[70'*Chevelle]

I do have a 55 gallon that the brace broke but me and my friend made a canopy for it and it held water fine but he didn't have the time to take care of a salt water tank, so it is sitting in my shed make me an offer if you are interseted. what size of a protien skimmer do you need? if you don't know, then what size is your tank? and I will see what I have. if anyone is interested I do have a sea life sump with bio balls for $50.

anyone interested in fish let me know I go get them on tuesdays.

thanks
Virgil

The brace broke?? is that the piece around the bottom? Does it look ok? If its usable and you really want to free some space im sure i can find a little cash. :D

[70'*Chevelle]

the piece that broke is the black part that goes across the middle top to keep the glass from bowing out. Just let me know if you want it.

thanks

[GRAYHORSE]

Oh.... Yea i want it. What is the cheapest you can hook me up. :)
I'm selling car parts to pay bills. The fish keep me calm though. lol

[70'*Chevelle]

I will let it go for $40 bux:D

[70'*Chevelle]

[89redchevy]

i have a 65 gallon i believe looks like new....not sure if my parents are gonna sell it or not....its not used now because we bought a 135 gallon so yea i think they are gonna sell it for like 400 if they do just because it was maintained very well.....ill talk to my parents bout it...payed about 600 for it when we got it

[BLACK _SS]

in a 135 gallon tank how big will this thing get? How big of a tank did you keep him in?

[70'*Chevelle]

I have him in a 120 gallon tank right now, and he will get big around 6 to 8 ft, but if you don' t power feed him, meaning everyday he will not grow that fast. I have had him for about 6 months and i can't really tell that he has grown much I have been told to keep them until they die you need 1,000 gallon tank or bigger. In other words he will be to big for the 135 in about a year, also he is destuctive if you have rocks he will knock them down, so it is better not to have a lot of rocks in there with him and if so do not stack them up. You might as well buy him cause you got to admit it would be cool as hell to have him:D

[BLACK _SS]

6-8 ft damn thats big so i would need atleast 150 gal would that be good enough.how much do these tanks cost and where could i get them? i kind of interested in this thing ill admit it would be awsome to have!

[70'*Chevelle]

They both measure 72"X18" at the base just the 150 is a couple of inches taller that's all. So you are good with what you have, besides 15 gallon isn't that much when you think about it. the next size up is a 180 (84"X18") and that will cost about $800 bux at Pet Boutique in Garland. Come on:D go for it:p he will be fine;)

[89redchevy]

ok that tank is a 55 gallon dos....its all black and got a black back for when u look in the tank.....its like new basically paid 600 for it lookin to get about 5 since we only had it for like a year and there is no damage done....no water damage or anything....comes with about 40lbs or close to 100 dollars worth of sand....sorry no rock...all was transfered to new tank...if u want it pm me or post back for addy or fone number to talk to my stepdad...(basically his tank)its still inside so that no outside damage has been done......thanx......

Katie and I need need a protein skimmer for a 55 gallon tank. Let us know.... We're interested if you have one.

[BloomCountyGirl]

What he said.

Katie

[70'*Chevelle]

I am checking to see if i have one or what I can get one for. I will let you know soon

Thanks

[BloomCountyGirl]

We're looking at AquaC (remora) and the Euroreef (CS8-2) right now new; I know they're worth the price but if I can get a used one of similar quality I won't have a problem with spending less. :)

Katie


edit: I don't mean to hijack your thread either, good luck selling your shark. I suggest advertising it for sale in the for sale or trade forum at Reef Central, it's a nation-wide marine aquarists board (If you didnt already know about it). I'm sure someone would be glad to take it off your hands. http://reefcentral.com
