they can swim 30-50 yards of water in less than 5 seconds.
i think sharks should be left in the wild period.

Just a crazy thought, but what is the point of purchasing an animal of any sort that you would not be able to keep at its adult size. This is a 6-7 foot shark, whose population, like all other sharks, is in decline. So unless you have a tank, oh I don't know, twice the size of a normal swimming pool, why not stick to viewing these while diving in Tahiti?

i think coral should be left in the wild :rolleye1:

from now on yes, as we have collected quite a grip of corals, maybe enough to use aquacultured specimens from now on.

Not a crazy thought at all. In fact, I couldn't agree with you more.

After diving with them last August in Tahiti/Bora Bora/Moorea, the thought of these swift, beautiful creatures being held/housed in anything less than in the thousands of gallons is sickening.

These guys/gals were at least 5' long and swam with lightening fast bursts. As an earlier poster mentioned I believe, with one flick of their tail they can cover an incredible distance at amazing speed.

+1 or at least in a public aquarium on the order of several (think not 10's, but 100's) thousands of gallons...

Through observation, I would estimate that they cruise at that speed, but that they are easily capable of covering that distance in about 3 seconds.
