Answer 1

you can get sharks at petstores, privatley own type ones, not like petsmart.(since you want a big one) They are going to be pretty expensive, a few hundred dollars.

heres a good sit: liveaquaria.com

and some good marine species:
*port jackson shark(up to 5')
*Black Banded Cat Shark (up to 3.5')
*Wobbygong Shar (up to 4')

you can only have on per tank and they need at least 300-1000 gallons and you have to know about fish care, they are labeled as 'expert only'



if your not an expert, here are some scary fish that are easier to take care of:

*anglers(white collar(up to 6");straited(up to 6");red/orange(up to 10")[they need 70-100 gallons, and they do best with no other anglers]
*Filefish(Tassle(up to 1'))[they need at least 70 gallons; they are copmatible with anglers and other filefish]
*Lionfish(volitan(up to 1'3");Atenneta(up to 7");Russell's(up to 1'))[they need at least 70 gallons, tehy are compatible with anglers, other lions, but be cautios with filefish]{POISONOUS}
*Scorpionfish(sea goblin(up to 8"))[at least 50 gallons,tehy are compatible with anglers, other lions, but be cautios with filefish]


they are all kinda expensive for fish and some may need special care, but no villian pad is complete without some freaky a$$ fish!

Well... It disturbs me that you want a shark for a prop or decoration more than you want it for the glorious creature that it is. When it comes to owning larger types of sharks, you have to be properly licensed and equiped to own such an animal. They take a lot of time and care and can be rather dangerous if the right precautions aren't taken. There are a few sealife dealers in California who can assist you with getting ready for such a venture. I'd recommend doing some research on what you want specifically and consider if you have the money and experience to handle this type of animal. Oh and I assure you, it'll be extremely expensive.

Answer 3

When it comes to keeping sharks, this is something that is strongly urged that aquarists not to do, unless they have a VERY large aquarium adequate enough to suit their environmental needs. They require more than ample room to more around, whether they are small or not, and can be quite touchy to deal with when it comes to caring for them as well, especially for a beginner.

Answer 4

If you REALLY want to have a real shark, there are a few that can be kept in "small" (about 150gal) they require very good filtration and a lot of food.

Many good pet stores that have a good marine fish department should be able to order you one.

Answer 5

You could go to a pet store and Buy a bala shark or red tail shark they grow to be really big or you could go to aquabid.com they sell tons of fish there.

Answer 6

I think you are supposed to have a permit for that because if the shark eats someone or hurts someone you will have to shoiw the permit to the judge and you will also have to pay the person(and you have to get a permit becuse you have to fish for it on your own)

Answer 7

They sell sharks at the pet store. They don't look real mean though. But I think the bigger tank you have the bigger they grow.

Answer 8

I can make you a very realistic cardboard shark and mail it to you. I have too many crayons and can't fall asleep.

Answer 9

If you want a killer shark, visit Jacks aquarium. Every fish in the world is there! lol!
