I have to agree that a new person to fishkeeping would almost certainly not start with a 6 foot tank. However, I admit that it is possible, so here are some references that would be helpful to you or others in your situation:

Here is an old thread I liked on cycling. If you are having nitrite problems in a week old tank, then your tank is not "cycled" in the same sense that others are talking about. It is a long post, but very well worth reading to someone unfamiliar with the concept of the nitrogen cycle in a fresh water aquarium. Most of the links in this post are not good though, since it is so old.

That thread touched on the idea of fishless cycling. For more information on that, see this thread:

Here is an excellent thread about weekly maintenance on your new tank. Following something like this will help avoid problems in the future, after your tank is cycled:

Lastly, I wanted to address the statement:
"i asked the guy at the shop before i bought them he goes siliver sharks do grow but he goes like any fish if the tank is big enough and got room it will grow bigger "
This is a common misconception. Fish that are supposed to grow big should be big tanks. Most people who think they will only grow to a size good for a smaller tank they are in do not know a lot about fishkeeping. As a result, the fish are usually stuck with water quality problems due to improper maintenance, and a small tank. Together, this sure does stunt their growth well. It is not good for the fish though.

Seems a bit coincidental that the size Wolf said ends up being his exact tank size on an edited post <_<
Still, they may not feel secure, Bala sharks need to be in groups of at least 6 as they are a shoaling fish.
