Actually there are some freshwater fish that are "sharks" that are pretty easy to keep. A red tail shark would be good to look into. Best of luck

Hey Mikie, where are you from? Maybe a local member would be nice enough to meet you at a local fish store to show you some of the fish that can get along, and the proper equipment you'll need. If you are near Cleveland I would totally help you out.

mikie1011 mikie1011 maybe sit down with your parents and look at what is required to run and maintain a Saltwater tank VS running a Freshwater system, coz if you have 0 to very little experience keeping fish, a freshwater setup might be a little more forgiving and easier to start with (cheaper too)...

And as butchie butchie pointed out, there are fresh water fish that have shark like appearances that dont require 300G+ systems...

So It really all comes down to size of tank / time you or your parents have to put in to maintaining the tank / and how much you want to spend...

Either way, good luck and and hope you find all the info you need...
