We have two shark catfish to offer in upstate New York. They are approximately 6 inches long apiece, and are currently in a 75 gallon tank. They need a lot of room to swim around on the bottom of the tank, so a 75 gallon is probably the minimum size that they should move into. These guys regularly reach 12" to 14", so be prepared to move them again into a bigger tank at some point!
While these fish are free, there is a catch: You MUST have a brackish tank that is already healthy and established to put them in. Although shark catfish are commonly sold with freshwater fish (we got them at Petsmart), they need to be kept in a brackish tank when they get older. We've had these two fish for approximately 8 months, and they are very healthy. We're giving them away because we do not have the ability to set up a brackish tank at this point. You can find more information about them at:

I'd be willing to drive about an hour from Ithaca, NY to meet/deliver. I know absolutely nothing about shipping live fish, so unless someone can give me a very good reason, they will not be shipped. Thanks for reading!
