Well i never heard of white sharks being kept in captivity in zoos... maybe in some kind of rehabilitation center. But i guess it will have to be a very large tank and with nothing else but the shark in it (by nothing else i mean no other animals, except maybe for some fish to serve as food). But i honestly have no idea on how to make an exhibit for a great white shark. I know there are whale sharks kept in captivity in a massive aquarium somewhere in the world that i can't remember where exactly at the moment... but those are gentle giant so i guess is easier to take care of them. |

They're right . Great White Sharks , are rarely kept in captivity . I think you know why ! Anyway They'll need a large tank and some rocks I think . I suggest only using these for a temporary stay at a rehab center .

the Monterey Bay aquarium keeps young great whites in captivity for short periods of time, then releases them. they are kept in the large oceanic tank with tunas, mahi-mahi, herrings and other sharks, the tank is just empty when it comes to foliage or rocks. a fully grown white, however, doesn't seem realistic to me |

Well, we can go even further in the game because, simply put, there's no boundaries. |

However, IIRC, these sharks aren‘t kept in an indoor tank but in an outdoor one? If I were you trevelynh, I‘d go for tiger sharks. Just as impressive and way easier to keep

I think the aquarium where they keep juvenile great whites is enclosed (indoor) but I could be wrong. I know that you see them there a underwater tunnel you walk through. (I think). Still something I hope to see possible at some point, I know you can make a tank on either side with an elevated path roof, but I mean, a full tunnel with water surrounding it (: |

Guys , is it generally a good idea to put kelp in dollphin and other marine species' exhibits ? Because , I'm really concerned about cetaceans getting choked or tangled by kelp ...

It's a great addition if you use it with sea otters or smaller fishes. Cetacean enclosure almost never have foliage in them, as Furka said. |
