well then the shark was misskept.

no SW shark should ever live in a 150 unles newborn.
 
i dont doubt that it was misskept put i would love to some day obtain a tank large enough( im thinkin of tarning an above ground pool into a salt water environment, or a huge paranha pond

Black tip. They need something close to 7 or 8 thousand gallons (horizontally oriented) for LOTS of open water swimming.

There isn't a marine shark you could keep in a typical 220 for life.

Outside above ground shark pool will be stupidly hard and expensive to maintain. Go with overhyped piranhas if you want something you consider badazz.

The most BA fish are ones that you probably would never think were BA. Just like I saw a 2" fuscus trigger that had no fear and was a finger chaser. Something like that would be a great fish for your 220g.
 
As stated above, no SW shark can live in a 220gallon for live. They only type of shark that could work possible would either be a Marbled Cat Shark or Coral Cat shark. However I see 250gallons as being the minimum. Now as for the shark you are describing, only shark which comes to mind that could have possible lived in that tank without dieing that resembled a Great White could have been either a Brown or Gray Smoothhound. However they need atleast 1,200 gallon to live somewhat a happy life. So what your friend was doing was horrible, and absolutly un-ethical. No SW shark available in the aquaria trade could thrive in a 150 gallon for more than a year possible two max! So I think you should do a little research, and get some SW experience under your belt before trying to pursue keeping a shark.
 
why the heck are you so attracted to "badass" fish? It sounds to be like you just want to make yourself look badass. By doing so you put your needs before your fishes, which makes you, a dumbass.

(sorry)
