IMO fish like the Whale shark belong in the ocean not an aquaroim. What a waste of life.....

Ditto that! Where do you bury a whale shark anyway? Or perform an autopsy for that matter. You'd have to climb inside it. I'd love to see one of those in the wilds one day. Every divers dream.

i dont want to sture up trouble but they have a 40 foot fish in 6 million gallons of water and we have .8 foot fish in 200 gallons, it seems like they have us beat. i know they need space to roam and swimm, but so donw tangs and other roaming fish. sorry just had to put another perspective on it.
