Same reason I don't want a powder blue tank - I already have one. They also don't want to become known as the place where you can bring your unwanted animals.
Unfortunately, public aquariums won't risk contaminating their systems with donated livestock. After being exposed to foreign parasites and/or diseases from different regions, the current inhabitants are likely to be unable to fight them off. This also makes re-introduction to the wild, a huge risk as well.
Not quite sure what NBC's intention was to even write this article, but hopefully there's someone out there with a 20,000 gallon system that could house these two.
I remember when Aquatic Gallery and the shop on Alum Rock both had black-tips. I understand that it can help draw in customers, but it breeds a certain element that isn't healthy for the hobby
