Alright I'm just wondering what would be the min size tank for a bill shark? And what kind of filtration and other things needed? I've seen them for sale before and just wanna know how unrealistic it is

Bull shark?

I would think a lifetime home would be on the order of public aquarium size. 150,000 gallons or so with filtration that most of our minds, mine included, couldn't really wrap around.
 
A bull sharks minimum tank size would be probably bigger than your house as they are I believe over 8 feet when full grown but they get huge and need to be able to swim constantly so they will need a huge tank as they can't sit still so I would guess the absolute minimum would be 100,000 gallons and the feeding would be around $300 a day figuring that you would have to feed them a full chicken like every other hour and the chickens can cost anywhere from $10-$100 for a huge one and it is very unrealistic to own one unless you can afford to own a house that can fit this size tank in it hahaha but I also believe they are illegal to own or you need a permit I believe as one of my local taxidermists has an alligator and he had to have a permit.

Holy lack of punctuation Batman! All jokes aside, if you have to ask about the size it requires, it's not for you. A shark of that size is just unreasonable.

All of the above. They're active, thick, messy, and grow quite large. Totally out-of-the-question for captivity barring huge public aquaria.
