[animal lover]

I didn't know where too put this post either cause I don't know where you would write questions to specific people....but this is going out to ecotank & Lotus....Do you seriously have a 18ft great white shark in your back yard????or are you just pulling eveyones leg????If you do have one I'm sorry but I think your nuts...lol...

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

well it was just that I seen it in the pic and you guys were talking about it in the other post about agressive/predatory fish so I had to ask...

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

 

[animal lover]

I would say so....well keep on going and maybe you'll be the one to invent that tank and become world famous...lol

i thought it was because of a rusty bolt that the shark beat its nugget on the wall

anyhow i saw that on the discovery channel when i used to have cable

 

[ecotank]

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.
