I have a 30gal tank and am wondering if there are and sharks that are small enought to fit in my tank. They dont have to be a shark really, just look like one I guess. Also, if there are any, how are they mixing them with other fish? Thanks.
Sharks?

Nope, no real sharks that will fit into even large home aquaria very well. There are a few that exist, but they are not available for sale, some are endangered species, and survival rates are terrible, even for commercial aquariums.
Shark-like--what do you mean? Shape? Color? Behavior? A 30 will really limit you, as most predators get too big. There are 2 types of predators: lurkers, like lions, that spend most of the time in hiding, waiting to gulp down food in a burst of movement; hunters, like eels and sharks, that actively search out food. Lurkers typically can be kept with fish that are too big to eat, while hunters will often harrass and kill fish much larger than themselves, limiting appropriate tankmates even further.

By shark like I mean shark looking. I just like the way they look and move so if there are any fish and visually resemble a shark I would be interested in knowing what they are. Thank ya.
