You could get a marbeled cat shark. You'd have to make sure you had very good filtration though.

You can just run a search on yahoo for marbled cat sharks, there's many sites that sell em. There not very expencive. I wouln't go with cc, use live sand. Most aquarium sharks spend most of there time on the bottom of the tank and could cut themselves. It will also help with filtration. The live rock is a good thing so it can have a place to conceal itself and will also help filter. You might want to read risc's post on shark filtration. You'll definitly want a wet/dry and a very good skimmer.

i know how big a 75 is, i have one, but i cannnot imagine puting a 2ft shark in to it, jsut take a good look at your tank, then try to imagine a 2 ft shark in yours, swimming gack and forth, then turning around, justa little test for you to try before buying a 2 ft shark for your tank :D
and i do agree with broomer5, so this is justa reccomendation

75 gallon is just way to small. There are a few sharks that can live in a 100 to 125 gallon their whole lives... but not in a 75. That could only be used as a very short term home for small sharks.
