Great White Shark, although to my knowledge, they still havent figured out how to keep one alive in captivity.

Actually, they had kept one in captivity. It was, I believe, a Seaworld aquarium. However, once it started to grow and get comfortable with its surroundings, it started to stalk and kill the other inhabitants. I saw that on a show. Very interesting. I could not believe they were finally able to do it.

Nope, I was wrong. It was the Monterey Aquarium. Here is the story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7351538/

Wow, great article, definantly news to me! Thank you! Funny though that they actually thought a growing GWS would actually play nice with his tank mates I mean after all its a freakin GWS!!! lol Ive seen video of these things attempting to attack killer whales 3 times their size, not exactly a community friendly shark!

I would have a stream running about chest height throughout the perimeter of my living room, on all 4 walls (think like a slucing box used for finding gold, but with glass panels for viewing the interior- see bottom photo on Wiki- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluice). About 3 foot wide and 2 feet deep...chiller/filter in the basement pumping crisp clean water through my own personal stream....a few rainbow trout, some inverts and some beautiful river rock. Maybe a waterfall...
Hard part will be keeping the cats out and the trout in...

Actually the GW held its own better than you'd think. Granted it was a very large white. It was hard to see alot of what was going on but it appeared that the white actually caused more damage to the whale with his teeth than the whale did to it. However the whale was so much bigger it was throwing its weight around and the white gave up and left the vicinity.

Something large and colorful. I don't know many fish. I'd want one of those big 10,000 gallon tanks at the aquarium with a school of 100 or so whatevers.
