AnswerDenise,
I noticed the title of your note. Having answered an entire 5 questions here, already, I was unaware we had titles and/or a subject line in inquires. :)
No need for a followup letter. This should answer your question better.
As evidenced by this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiM4YjTGI2I you should be able to notice that they feed their shark (which is actually a catfish) live food. Your shark is capable of digesting quite a good-sized fish at his size, so I recommend putting in a fish that is size-notable with him.
The Red Parrot may or may not be a suitable tankmate, depending on its size.
The threshing will never go, probably, and is due to his captivity in an aquarium. He is outgrowing his surroundings.
Good luck! I truly hope this helped.
