ok i have a question ,i went to this dude house that lives right next door to my friend.he had a saltwater pond in his garage...he had blk tip reef sharks in there..they looked really cool..he said they ate all of his fishes...lol so dude ask me if i wanted to buy them for 650 each...is that a good price?the only thing that sucked was dude wouldnt let me take any pic..80((
 
price is irrelevant. Are you equipped to handle them through out their life, even when they get 4 or 5 feet?

Black tips aren't in that document. They are restricted in regards to import, but not sale within, or transportation/possession.

now notice that they said freshwater sharks but yet says all species of genus Carcharhinus which include blacktip reef sharks. I found that only the bull shark is claimed to be able to tolerate freshwater but isn't actually a freshwater only shark.
 
OK they are... but as you just posted, my second statement is correct
They are restricted in regards to import, but not sale within, or transportation/possession.

The permit is pulled for import, which IIRC then follows the fish down the CoC. It's been a while since I was an importer, but I still have deep ties into the trade.
