Would you have a Shark Tank in your home?  Some wealthy homeowners have living room aquariums with shark tanks , but it turns out sharks don't make the best of pets.  They require much more care than a simple fish tank, as they need salt water. You also need much more space since chances are a shark will outgrow a home tank, with some breeds reaching over 14-feet long
