I may be moving out of state and need to sell or trade this pair. Male is 21" and Female is 26", they are very pricey, smaller ones are sold (special order) at Barrier reef (9"-14") for around 900 each, so actually this pair would be about 2K in retail cost based on its size and maturity level. I had mine for almost 2 yrs and thier growth rate is approx 3-4" a yr till it reaches around 28-30". Male need to reach 24" to breed. I was planning to breed them, however my plans are cut short and forced to part them. Good money there, they produce 1-2 eggs at a time and about 24 eggs a yr. I could sell the youngs dirt cheap at 100 each, you do the math.

I am asking 700 for a pair...yes, very cheap for this kind of sharks being posted on this site would be a very rare opportunity to grab at this price. These fishes are extremely hardy against diseases in your tank. I have fish boxes avail for smooth transportation.

I am very open to non-livestock full or partial trades, the worst thing is I can reject what you have to offer. I've owned dozens of medium-large size tanks before, I know how much they are worth and its accessories and will make a very reasonable trade. A reasonable trade means I can sell that item(s) and get my 700 easily as an used item, not how much you paid for new.
I will be getting out of the hobby for a while.

If you're from Spokane/Portland, I can meet halfway for gas money if you're interesting buying the sharks. If you live farther than that, like Phoenix, LA, Dallas, etc.. I can ship sameday aircargo via Southwest cargo (I'm a known shipper for this airline), visit their website for airport destinations.

Here's an idea what I would like in a trade since it may be more difficult to find at my new location, space is limited to move, so I am not looking at glass (too heavy/fragile for move), large tanks over 150 gallons, metal halides nor HO T5 lightings, external pumps & skimmers. (I already have pumps and skimmer)

Good stuff I may be interested are reef ready acrylic tanks 90-150 gallon, preferred wide dimensions 4'x3', 4'x2' (20 to 24" height preferred).. if you have some other sizes (including unique sizes) to offer that could be sitting in your garage, it doesn't hurt to mention. I am also open to good quality (no self made DYI) LED's, Tunze wavemakers, or any new saltwater technology must have items..
