Problem. Shark Problem.

[MSB123]

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....

It was the medium cat shark on LA

I managed to cancel it- it has not been shipped yet luckily.

Any ideas for dealing with a 10 year old?

Sell him to the circus

I might have to pay them!

That's crazy, glad it was canceled. I may be wrong I thought you had to be 18 to have a PayPal? I've hatched banded cat sharks, they grow very fast.

Sounds like the parents setup the account for him.

I was reading your threads! I almost feel like keeping the order just to try to raise him.

The shark is already to big. We donated them to aquariums. They require a lot of time and special needs. I'd advise keeping it cancelled.

+1 I would strongly advise against it

My 14 year old has paypal linked to his account. Only need email.

Pretty cool that a young kid saves enough money over any amount of time to afford a cat shark!
And that he would do that (at least partly) for you.
Glad your folks are giving you both an opportunity to work with money in several formats.
It will make a difference later!

He definitely needs more guidance on what's a good fish purchase. But pretty cool he is interested!

It's the internet.

I'm 24, 210 ripped and 6' 2".


You can get away with quite a bit.
Lol, think of what the person Leonard DiCaprio played got away with. And that was in person.

I have no doubt it would've made anything in the tank it's dinner. Here's a tip for some revenge.... go on his pay pal without him knowing, and order something your parents would REALLY disapprove of, and send it straight to your house

Send him to my house. I have a 10 year old already. He'll be happy to see you when he gets home.

Feed him to a shark?

Yes!

Hello,

In the terms of the movie Jaws your gonna need a bigger boat or your case tank. Bad idea I would absolutely cancel this order, or refuse shipment and call them immediately. Not only would it probably destroy your tank, but this is a live critter strewed out not because of hey he looks neat. Look mom we have the real jaws in our living room, quick stick your hand in there. I so feel for you my nephews decided to use my sump as a toilet. It was a total nightmare at first for me. Wish you luck my friend.

Cheers
Sarah

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.

I think sharks need rounded tanks so they dont hurt themselves and can keep swimming. Call a local aquarium, if you have one near by. If not then your lfs will probably take it.

 

[Katrina71]

He clearly has an interest in your tank. Maybe you could help him pick out a Biocube of his own. My 10 year old does just fine with his.
