Tank is too small for the shark long term. Sorry.

240 would be bare minimum, but with sharks a good rule of thumb is allow enough depth (front to back measurement) so the shark doesn't have to go vertical to complete a turn. In other words, don't make him climb a wall just to turn around.

If you're really interested in keeping small sharks I would recommend doing some research on building your own shallow indoor pond. This can be much more cost effective than buying an aquarium and is also generally more appropriate for the fish.
