When did petco start selling sharks? I was a petco today and they had a shark egg and 2 diffrent types of sharks. A brown banded catshark and a spotted bamboo. I don't know much about sharks but I imagine they get big. The aquatics specialist told me be can get me a small black tip for my 220 o_O. I ended up getting a cleaner shrimp and purple firefish.

Witch Petco is this? Their are about 17-20 petco's that might have an ability to order such things, most are not able to.

Do you quarantine? They were that way when I was in the hobby early 2000s in Florida. Did get a lunare wrasse for free because it hit the floor from 1 of they're top tanks, it lived over 2 years.

I think on freshwater they do but as far a salt water their is not a guarantee. But that may have changed in the last 6-7 months I no longer work for Petco.
