Keeping a Pet Shark

I have reasearched and have not found any information other than whale hugging spammers speaking the evils of keeping a shark in the home aquarium. Not all sharks are the same. There is a species
that stays under 3 feet, called a cat, there is another slightly larger species called a Bamboo. These sharks are usually sold as small 2-8″ pups, so they adapt well into a home aquarium, I also read that
their eggs are readily available for hatching yourself.  They are sold in Aquarium stores for under $40, I can get one for $29. As you all know, usually the more a fish costs, it is less likely to survive your aquarium.  I just want some info.

I know they are more sensitive than say Joe Damsel, or Betsy Pufferfish. I know they are sensitive to nitrate, I know they love meaty foods, “No hun I haven’t seen Pa for days, and I don’t know why the shark won’t eat either.”:-)know they could care less about lighting, and are not usually prone to skin diseases, but die if 1 level of water goes awry.  If I throw on a Skimmer, and a UV sterilizer will I be okay if I run it just like a fish only, weekly testing, bi-monthly water changes, etc…?
