No, we don't really have a shark in our back yard That's ecotank's idea of a joke. Quite honestly, if we did have a pool that nice, I would be in it, not a shark We both think it's pretty mean to keep sharks anyway

Actually Great Whites have never been kept alive in captivity for longer than a few weeks. It turns out that the electromagnetic field created by pumping equipment needed to keep the water quality good enough for the sharks, also causes havoc on thier nervous system (they bang against the side of the tank and eventually kill themselves).

Someday someone will create a tank specifically for keeping a Great White for people to view. I'd be world famous if I actually had one in my backyard

Actually the rusty bolt was a cause not the effect so it turns out. Several times Great Whites have been kept in captivity, but all have died or had to be released because they were going to die. The latest finding was that the electromagnetic fields were driving the sharks insane basically, so untill they overcome that issue, your not gonna find a live Great White at Sea World or anyplace else.

you could allways just pay a bunch of illegal immigrants to filter the water with 5 gallon buckets all day long. if they fall in you save money on feeding and a paycheck that day.
