HEATER is too hot. The other fish can takei t, so far, but your probably at 85 degrees or higher? Sometimes heaters stick ON. Check it now!
14 hours later: I thought the fish you are referring to was the freshwater TIGER BARB, sorry. Not the Red-tailed shark or the salt water Tiger shark (6 feet long as adult).
Tiger Barbs are small yellow/gold fish with vertical black stripes.
Is this your / were these your fish?

you are talking about sharks right and you do know that NOBODY has been able to keep a tiger shark alive in captivity. What genus and species are you talking about, and what size tank do you have to keep them in, b/c you know you have to have atleast 250 gallons for each domestic shark in a personal tank setting so get back to me and i might be able to answer you in more detail!

you are talking about a salt water set up correct?
they can be a touchy subject
how are your water conditions?
6 tiger sharks in one tank sounds kinda overloaded as i believe they can reach up to 2 feet in lenght and you really can't use the rule of thumb of 1" of fish to 1 gallon of water
i would say roughly you would need about 100 gallons per adult fish

Well,
I am an aquariest. These fish will fight each other and until the strongest ones servives. They are like the chinese fighting fish, you put two or more in with each other, they will murder each other. One is good enough in a tank, if you have two or more, then have a male and female. Hope this helps.
Wee Man.

Better check your water chemistry. Is it a new tank? Lots of sites to help with this. Search on google. I had same prob. Once I got my salt levels and chemistry right didn't hace anymore problems. But there could be lots of reasons. Tank size, diet, etc.
