hello all. alright, here's my story. we've had a black iradescent shark for about 15 years and now it is 1.5' long, we have it in a 92 gallon corner tank. we have concluded it is time to get rid of it, but we have no idea what to do with it. i was wondering if any of you had a suggestion or 2 for me. i really regret not getting rid of the fish sooner, before it got so big, but we didn't
i have realized this is a common problem for many people, because they are not informed how big the fish actually get, and now that i realize they get up to 4', i think they shouldn't even be sold as pets.
but my problem is, they are from southeast asia, and i'm guessing that means they should be living in warm water all year round. if i was to get rid of it in a stream/lake, i would at least hope it would have some chance of surviving. i'm from st. louis missouri so there's definetely not anything around here, and i doubt anyone would want to take the fish for a pet.
what do you guys think?
