Suggestions for a shark tank

[azreefer]

Hi all,
I have a 240 gallon acrylic tank that I have been considering setting up as a shark tank. The dimensions of the tank are 8' x 2' x 2'. What kind of shark could I keep in this tank? From the little browsing I have done it seems that the Bamboo shark is my best option but I really like the looks of the leopard. Are there any sharks that have a more aggressive look and could be kept in a 240 for 3-4 years before needing a larger tank? If not, how many bamboo's do you think I could put in this tank and how quickly could I expect them to grow? Oh yeah...one other thing. Will these sharks require colder water requiring me to get a chiller?
Thanks for any and all info and sorry for all the questions.

Have a few ideas for you. Any bamboos or Epaulettes would be ok, might be stretching a little with two (as adults). If you want a more streamlined look try Coral or Marbled Catsharks, great choice in my opinion, and you could keep two in that tank without a problem. I kept a Coral catshark for a while and eventually sold him to get a bamboo, tough choice but I really like them. He was a pretty aggressive feeder too, swam around like a shark that meant business. These are all warm/std temp sharks. ~72-82.
You could also look into a horn shark (heterodontus francisci), cold water shark though, ~55-70.
