So what happened? Something get in your tank? Ammonia spike?
Make sure you figure out what went wrong before you repopulate the tank...

You know the shark can get up to 3'? there's almost no feasible indoor aquarium that can house one, unless you got some serious cash flow. They also have a tendency to bash their noses against glass as they get older causing themselves injury, and injury to your tank if it can't take their bumping. There are lot's of other catfish that look like them that don't get near as big.
