Default Anyone have or know where I can buy High Fin Shark

I'm looking for Chinese High-Fin Banded Shark, anyone know of a petstore in the Bay that sells them? I'm finding a few on line but shipping is a killer!

Sorry for being so out there with the thread but you people are the eyes and ears of the Bay Area.

This is what it looks like small


This is what it turns into but bigger, almost 4'

We don't have real petstores down here, only Petco, and Petsmart

I have 35 Koi (6"-20") and Albino Catfish (15"-20")

I've wanted one of these for years. This is the perfect time of year to add one to the pond.

Don.. I asked my cousin and he will ask his friend. His friend has a Koi business in San Jose and might have some connections.

Your cousins friend's name is Tom

I go to Champ for all my koi,.. well except the ones I'm getting shipped direct from Japan!
