   because the aquarium keeps them well fed,

   but that doesnt mean that they never taken one. if you ask them they try to keep them well fed so they wont, but once and a while they will take one.

   I would think they are too well fed. Fish only attack and eat when they are wanting food.

   Those sharks, just like the sharks at other large aquariums are very well fed by the aquarium’s keepers. They do occasionally pick off the fish that you see, but these fish are replaced.

   they feed the shark enough so that its not hungry enough to eat the fish, like keeping any pet if its well fed it generally wont try to eat other pets. I’m sure the shark has picked off afew of the fish, i have seen it happen myself.

   Thy are fed by the care-takers of the aquarium so they do not need to hunt for their own food,(unless bored).
