get a quote and let me know.
them horn sharks dont look shark like enough mate out else you can get
jacko, thats the only shark adaptable to aquaria, unless you have a tank of over 30000gallons, about as big as a house.
you may aswell go for an agressive freshwater fish, stingray, arrowana, giant gourami, or a black rhom.

the 2 catfish at the bottom are the same, ones slightly darker than the other so assume theyre male/female, they were advertised as Colombian Catfish.

There are also 3 Pangasius Catfish in the tank too, but theyre only small at around 4 inches in length, but i think that may well be down to 2 as one is in my hospital tank as its been behaving very oddly, as if it has swim bladder problems combined with bouts of crazyness

Its not really the water thats the problem, need to give the filter time to establish itself etc, although if you go to www.fishforums.net you can buy activated filter media from there
