I can't get a bigger tank, I would need a 200 gallon tank to have it big enough for this fish, I got it as a baby about 2 inches long and know it is a foor long. And a tank that size is too costly.

Offer it to pet stores with large display tanks, your local zoo, http://aquabid.com/ , or try posting it on some fish forums.

You should try looking on www.aquabid.com for a bigger tank or a different style might be all you need. If that doesn't work out than you can sell it on there but you have to be careful shipping live fish. They must be shipped overnight next morning delivery in a bag of water like you get it in the store packed safely in a box for shipping plainly labeled with "Live Animal Handle With Care". They also sell oxygen tablets that you can put in the water in the bag so he doesnt run out of air. You can buy them at most pet stores if you look for them.

Try calling around local fish stores, especially in/near bigger cities. Stay away from the chains, they won't buy fish. Find a good mom and pop place, they should give you store credit too. Or, try running an ad in your local paper. I'd stay away from ebay, unless you know how to properly ship a live fish. Try calling around local schools/colleges/zoos/aquariums. Or, what you could do, depending on your yard etc. dig a pond for it.

First off, do NOT put it in local waters. That's how ecosystems get screwed over and there likely is laws (even if dusty) against that in your area.
You may be able to do a trade off at a local pet shop or just get store credit. However, don't expect to get much. Or you could give it to a friend or place an ad in the local newspaper.

Just like plants - the bigger the pot the bigger the plant. Obviously Mr. Shark needs more room to grow, I would get a bigger tank. You would miss him is you sold him.

Our local pet store will buy back or trade in fish that get too big for our tank. Ebay is a great option, too. Good luck!

Go to your local Petco and see if they wiil take it. Set up an ad in your local paper or community bullitain board.
You could also consider getting him a bigger tank, or even installing a back-yard pond for him.
Good Luck!
