i think that tank is severely undersized for that shark. they need way, way more room to swim than that! i would have chosen other fish for the tank. very nice tank though.

BUT come on, half a dozen neones, a couple of mollies, the odd guppie, I reckon it would be choice

that would be crazy

i wonder where she got the shark from? i doubt the fish shop has many buyers of sharks that big?

Wow! That is an impressive tank.

That is awesome, to say the least.
I just made a deal with the wife that if I take the family to the Football Hall of Fame in August and see the game, etc, I could use 1/2 the tax refund on another tank.
I am thinking of making the 30 gallon into a hospital tank. Kind of big for that, but that's OK.
Then the plan is to get something BIG for the family room.
Probably 200 gallon. Don't know if I can fit anything bigger, or even afford it.
Don't know yet if I want a single Arowana, or just a huge African setup with all different species of cichlids.
Ideas??? :-)
