I dont think these should be thrown off the market. There are people out there that do do the reaserch on sharks and dont want to buy the actual shark but would much rather buy a "mermaid perse". They have built their tank around the shark and this can be just as nice as a reef tank. With large angels and lionfish. I met a guy on the weekend with a 300 gallon preditor tank who has a shark he said he has a 570 gallon tank and is currently buying stuff for it. I think if you get the right size tank and do your reaserch then you would be better off. But yes they do suck for the new hobbist with a large tank full of inverts then they see the shark in the pet store. Thinking they can tell their bddies they have a shark buy it and it devourse everything in the tank that would definatly be a bad thing.
