unfortunately, I have keen insight into this situation for I live with a connoisseur of aquatic wildlife. upon reading the entirety of your dilemma, he has come to the conclusion that the only way harm can come to either of the fish is to chase each other into objects or to the point of shock. he further commented that these particular types of sharks are physically incapable of biting, instead their mouths are designed to inflict force similar to that of a vacuum. hence it should prove to be a long battle...
final analysis:
the reverend, or rev as he has come to be known in our household, will eventually come up victorious. here is why... his cunning and coy manner allow him to rationalize the situation and understand that nothing is to be gained nor lost by being chased about the tank, therefore going into "shock" is not an option.
extrenuating circumstances:
if another object (e.g. a pointy metal pin of sorts) were to be placed into the tank, the outcome would be less predictable and the struggle will move along with greater velocity.
