@DAVID, it is a species of catfish rather than an actual shark (the common name is Iridescent Shark). The name is due to the supposed shark-like appearance of the catfish in this group.

Thanks Chlidonias. It does look shark-ish. I think that they have this species on display at Disney's Animal Kingdom. For some reason there are very few exhibits of these giant freshwater fish species in American zoos and aquariums.
