Shark needs a new home
Could you adopt a shark?
Leah and Richard Jackson, of Felderland Close, Park Wood,
rescued a black shark four years ago, but it has now outgrown its
four-foot tank and needs to be urgently relocated, along with a
14in pleco and a 4in gourami.
The fish, simply named Black Shark, has already grown to 17in
and can grow up to two feet.
Mum-of-three Mrs Jackson, 30, said: “The tank is falling apart
and the last thing I want is 150 litres of water gushing out into
my lounge. I’m sad to see the fish go, especially the black shark
as it’s such a beautiful creature, but there’s no way I could get a
bigger tank.”
Another person who will miss the aquarium is son Josh, six. The
couple also have daughters Charley five, and two-year-old
Kirsty.
Mrs Jackson, who also has two cats, two gerbils and five
rabbits, has contacted numerous pet shops, wildlife parks, fish
societies and zoos, in hope of finding the fish a new home, but
without luck.
The ideal keeper would have experience with tropical species and
a tank which is bigger than four foot.
