Is the Papo shark safe in a fresh water aquarium for fresh water fish?

Hi Teresa, the Papo Geat White shark seems safe for a fresh water aquarium. Just uploaded a picture showing it in my son's fresh water tank (about 2 months ago). For maintenance (once a week or bi-weekly), clean the gills, mouth (especially between the teeth) and corners of the fins with a soft-fine tooth brush. The paint seems sturdy enough - no peeling noticed even after several plays in the kids tub and about 2 months in the fish tank. Note: This item is heavy enough to sink to the bottom of the tank. No additional weights required.

What is the length of the shark?

approximately 6 to 8 inches....thought it would float but made of hard rubber and sinks

Does this shark have a straight tail or a slight curve?

The tail is mostly straight with a slight curve.

No. It is a plastic figurine with the mouth fixed in open position.
