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.

The materials are non toxic for children so are safe in an aquarium. The piece would have to be weighted as it will float.

It's non-toxic as it's a kid's toy first and foremost (mine sits on a shelf with other shark memorabilia) so yes, but scrub it first with some mild soap and rinse it off good so as to not bring any bacteria into the tank. And as someone mentioned it will have to be weighted as it will be buoyant.

Hi Teresa,It should be fine. If it gets algae on it, just remove it from the tank and clean it with a mild dish soap, plus make sure to rinse it thoroughly prior to placing it back in the fish tank. I echo the comment about fastening it to the bottom. Check yourself though. I had some sharks in our pool last summer (my daughter would dive for them) and they sank.

Because of the nature of aquariums, I'd hesitate with that. Water tends to slosh around and become unstable during cleanings, etc. That might be a question to direct to the manufacturer.

I've had mine for a year in a saltwater tank...no issues. I've even have a snail that keeps the outside of the pump clean without getting hurt. If I had a fish commit fishycide, I would avoid that species in the future. Survival of the fittest/smartest.

I haven't but I would think it would poison the water if there were fish in the tank. Check with your pet shop to see what they suggest......

The package says it's not recommended for aquariums. It's fairly toxic stuff and any residue would probably kill fish. I used it to patch a crack in my driveway. It did a good job at that.

Seems to be. if you prime it, It does not need to be in the water. A lot off water movement, not for a small tank.

I do not fish salt water.....A fish is a fish in salt or fresh water.....Seems to me it would work on the proper fish...don't try it on a 200 pound shark!!

I'm not sure. The package says salt water. Maybe you should look for the Gulp that is good for fresh water. I don't know if the fish know the difference.

no problem, it says, product is only toxic to fish (don't spray in tank); I successfully got rid of moths, I recommend it; I used it indoors because that's were my moth infested carpets were; and I am still alive, did not get sick, did not use a mask - just use it with common sense (don't spray our hair...)

Definitely not! It is for decoration only as it has no filtration system. The faux jellyfish are somewhat fragile and move about in a 2.5" depth tank. Also a few drops of dish detergent is added to the water to make their movement more fluid. Any type of fish will have different water requirements in order to sustain a healthy environment.

The problem is that this Shark sucks! We got us a guppy not a Shark... You're better off just investing a bit more and getting yourself a Shark with a plug in cord and not spending on new batteries that don't do anything for this cordless stick vac...

It is not designed for salt water so you will need to rinse it off with fresh water after every use. They are definitely strong enough to handle the fish you are after.

Yes it is and I would not use it for longer than you have to. I recommend upgrading to a hang on the back type filter. I thought I had lost one of my fish and couldn't find it. When I upgraded the filter, I found him. He had swam over the edge of the filter and had gotten stuck in there. Luckily he was still alive. I don't have that problem with the traditional filter.

Yes, it is used for aquariums and fish ponds to keep the water clear and free of toxins. I do not think there is any information stating it is safe for use with humans, so assume it is not.
