White bubble looking stuff sounds like a fungal infection or the deadly columnaris. Test the water parameters and make sure nothing is off there.

Do you have a latin name for your "hi fin bull sharks"? That is a common name invented by a pet shop, I can bet you money they're not sharks! I'm guessing they're either Paroon Sharks - a catfish that gets over 3ft-4ft long:

Or Chinese Hi-fin Banded Sharks:

Which are coldwater and also get a good 2ft long.

Neither of which should be in the pet trade!

Test your water, invest in a good anti-fungal or anti-bacterial medication and treat the tank. If the fish recover, return them to the store.
 
Why do you think our fish keep dieing? We thought it was just because of were we purchased them because the rest of the fish seemed fine. We also have 2 hi fin bull sharks, last night we noticed white bubble looking stuff on them???What is that from? We have had them for over a month almost two and now there all dieing.
