Cops attended the scene in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, and found the fish swimming around a replica Christmas tree plonked in the middle of the pool which was in the property's front room.
It is as yet unclear whether the sharks were a part of the disturbance report that the police were called for on Friday.
Sussex Police will now try to establish whether the renters tenancy agreement allows for such pets, the Mirror reported.
Mid Sussex Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Darren Taylor, of Sussex Police, was shocked to hear what his team found.
He wrote on Twitter: "Just when you think you have heard it all! Team attended a premises over the weekend, only to discover a 8ft swimming pool in the front room.
"In the swimming pool (apart from water) were small sharks swimming around and an artificial Christmas tree in the middle! I kid you not!"
One of his social media followers replied: "We're gonna need a bigger bauble," in reference to the iconic line from 1975 film Jaws.
John Lawrence said: "I bet their "Jaws" dropped when they saw that."
Another follower, named Ann, replied: "Was there any people there or were they breakfast.
Deanna Pennington commented: "Please tell me someone started up the chorus for Baby Shark."
