honestly and please don't take this wrong . You can not keep a shark . When you have enough experiance in the hobby to understand why . Sharks are by no means for beginers in the hobby , You really need to have a fish tank of at least 300 gallons to keep even the smallest spieces of shark .

There is nothing similar to a shark or ray that you can keep in a 125 gallon tank .

I've been told that Silver tip sharks (catfish) do well in a marine tank. I have a small one in my freshwater tank (about 5") and he's pretty awesome. Very active, but doesn't show much aggression twords the other fish in the tank. I don't have any first hand experience with them in saltwater, but it might be worth checking into.

Yes you can acclimate braccish sharks into your tank (i.e. freshwater). I have seen a few people and LFS' that have done this. They are beautifully colored under Saltwater lighting.
You should read up about how to transition them into salt.

Heres a pic of one of my 2 white tip cat sharks. They're pretty cool. They eat like monsters though. This one is about 4", the other about 5.
Do they eat regular saltwater fish foods?

Look up Columbia Sharks (what those are IIRC).
I wouldn't keep them in a 125 either....

Are you thinking of a channel cat? They are somewhat simmilar. The fish pictured above is from central and south america, guatemala and southern mexico. (channel cats are found in north america) AND...channel cats are often sold in the FW aquarium industry even though they reach adult sizes FAR too large for the avg tank. (cute, yes, but don't get one
)
