As Chris points out, whalesharks are already being done. I agree that that would have to be one of the coolest things to see. So far, my most awesome aquarium experience has been at Atlantis resort in Bahamas. A two million gallon system chocked full of fish (an incredible stocking density!) and a manta ray. I was mesmerized by this thing gliding through the water. It was nothing short of incredible.

    How's this for a native fish!! Check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium's web page. You won't be disappointed! This is the holy grail for public aquariums and visitors alike.

  Nick, that is the coolest thing I have heard of in a long time. Lets hope it lives, the only thing better would be a baby whale shark. Now I have a good reason to visit California someday! When I was helping out with the local public aquarium they were trying to get some deep water fish for display but it never worked out. Maybe I'm a little silly but I would dearly love to see a great white and be able to watch it over a period of time. Watching large sharks in an aquarium is mesmerizing to me and great white would be the bomb to say the least.
