Problem. Shark Problem.

[MSB123]

Well... My brother ordered me a shark for fun. He told me it will be here on Wednesday. I have a 180 gallon tank right now, with minimal rockscape and lower light. Footprint is 65"x20". The shark is supposed to be about 6"- banded cat shark. What should I do?
Ill post pics of the scape in a bit.

EDIT: THE ORDER HAS BEEN CANCELED, PLEASE NO "CANCEL THE ORDER"

Is this the same brother that dumped the cup of dry ice in the tank? I would probably tell your brother to stop doing things for you for your tank. Find out where he ordered it from and cancel the order.

Cancel it. A shark isnt something you get just randomly. Tank is too small also. Youd be able to house it for a little while but will quickly outgrow your system.

I’d tell my brother to cancel it. Then give him a huge dead leg.

 

[MSB123]

yes it is! I will try to cancel it.

he is the favorite and also the younger brother- I would literally be killed by my parents and I would not see outside my room for a month

Cancel cancel cancel .

 

[MSB123]

im not very happy with him and this is the final piece of evidence I need in order to prove that he isn't the perfect person!

 

[MSB123]

but really. Thanks for the advice. It will be canceled

How young? lol might be time to hide the family credit cards for a while so he can't buy stuff.

Not to mention the cow fish may be stressed by a shark and take down the whole system . Now give him a couple of dead legs .

10. I still have no idea how he ordered it.

 

[MSB123]

My point.

 

[sfin52]

I also recommend putting a locking lid on the tank

I'm sorry, but how in the heck does a 10 year old order a shark??!! Those things are 70-100 bucks. Your parents wouldn't notice a 70 dollar charge on their credit card? And how did he get your parents credit card in the first place.....something sounds fishy here....

 

[MSB123]

Im also getting a new tank soon- rimless- that won't be easy. He needs to have a sit down conversation with parents and myself about not doing anything with the tank. He meant no harm, he thought he was being kind and generous to his older brother.

Not parents credit card, he has his own PayPal because they trust him- I've had PayPal since that age and he saves his money in his PayPal linked to his savings account.
