Shark Ponds are so so so cheezy. They look horribly cheap and poorly put together and you can't even see the animal except for its dorsal side. AND for the most of the ones that I have seen pictures of on this website don't allow for a significantly more amount of space for housing any shark then any other aquarium. There a small handful of sharks and rays that can be housed in home aquariums that are 200g and larger--- stick to those, trust me you will have a heck of a lot less heartache in caring for them.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE LARGE SHARKS BUY A YEAR'S MEMBERSHIP TO YOUR NEARIST PUBLIC AQUARIUM AND GET A REALITY CHECK ABOUT HOW BIG THESE ANIMALS GET AND THE CARE THAT IS NEEDED FOR THEM TO SURVIVE.

I WOULD STRONGLY URGE THAT THESE SHARKS PONDS NOT BE PROMOTED HERE ON THIS WEBSITE!

I think anyone that types in caps should be slapped with a keyboard. Just my opinion.

I thought I'd add that these particular black tips are dwarfs that max at 4.5 ft. You should see them beg for food, they can get crazy at feeding time.

They have to be active for if they not swim, they would sink
