"Oh yeah! Those are awesome fish! They are great in community tanks too! What other fishes do you have with them?"

Yes basking sharks...but my post is about nurse sharks. Nurse sharks are about 4.25 meters long.

Lisa was being sarcastic, bsking sharks get to around 9.8m Max Size.

Lisa was talking about nurse sharks. Read her post.

I read they can get to 4m, what size tank will you get for them then?

Yes but when she said the following above...she was refering to my post. My post is about nursing sharks.

Yeah they are super fast!
I love their fins!...so perfect!

So what ARE you going to go with them?

Nevermind when they get to 4m, even 4 foot is too big to be kept in a domestic aquarium...

I'm not even thinking about that right now. I will think about that when necessary. I'm just enjoying them for now.
I am thinking about it though and saving some money up to invest in it in the future.

You're right... now isn't the time to be thinking about it.

Before you bought them was the time to think about it and decide against buying them as there is no possible way you can ever care for the fish at adult size and there is every chance you will either kill it or permanently damage it's health by keeping it.

Incredibly irresponsible to buy them, especially as you claim to be "in the trade".

Im gonna have to agree on this, you never know if you have the recources in the future to "upgrade" with a fish of this size. I mean where are you even going to get a 1000+ gallon tank let alone where will you put it. I guess you could start your own seaworld tho.

That's your opinion...I'm a breeder and I think I'd know how to care for them in the future while enjoying them at the moment. I have experiance so please take your drama starting mouth elsewhere. Get out of my board.

I see no need for you to worry about that. Being that you do not own them. That's my business to handle. Thank you.

I got them from a breeder whom I happen to have become close friends with. I breed several fishies. However what I do does not concern you.
So if your going to turn this into a word fest...I suggest you get out also.
