Try and keep a single Shark. Sharks tend to attack to each other, its best to buy a breed that isn’t very aggressive if you want to stock more than one in the same aquarium. If you are aiming for a large shark, then it is advisable to keep only one.

Buy your shark young if possible. This is because younger sharks are a lot more amenable to adapt to their surroundings, older sharks tend to find it harder to adapt to new surroundings and may suffer as a result.

Make sure you have the right aquarium for your shark – some sharks are fresh water sharks while others are salt water sharks. Using the wrong aquarium would be disastrous to your pet shark.

Speak to the breeder or shark specialist store for advice on your sharks care, as each breed may have its own peculiarities. The specialist will be advise you on the food, regular maintenance, and advise on shark health care teams.

Sharks are an exotic pet choice and one needs to make an informed decision on choosing one as a pet. Sharks live a relative long time and aren’t cheap to maintain, fro specialist aquariums to food that is required to maintain it in health condition for a long lived life span. Many specialist shops offer sharks as pets, however not all of them supply sufficient advice on maintaining the sea animal.

To start with, there are a large number of Shark Breeds, from Fresh Water Sharks, which are more commonly kept house fish, to saltwater sharks that can grow to extreme sizes. The key is to pick a shark that fits your ongoing care budget, and not just the original price of a shark.

Some of the top questions to ask:

• Do you really want to take the responsibility of care?
• How big is your home?
• Will you be able to make arrangements for care if you are away for longer periods such as holidays?
• Will you be able to manage the shark if it gets fierce?
• Is there a local specialist pet shop that can help in regular care?
