Yep, I also agree that coelacanths should be left in the wild. It is correct that they were thought to be extinct until 1938, when one was found in fishing nets. Also, they've recently discovered another population in Indonesia (the original population was from east Africa primarily in the Comoros Islands). There are also thought to be other locations in which the coelacanth is found, and one of the locations that it has been guessed to inhabit is the Gulf of Mexico. For anyone looking for some great coelacanth info, I suggest "A fish caught in time: The story of the coelacanth" by Samantha Weinberg. It can be bought for a couple of bucks on ebay.
I can see a new hobby developing soon , once technology catches up, XTREME FISH KEEPING! 
There are a lot of undiscovered and extremely unusual fish in the unexplored extreme depths of the ocean. Its only a matter of time before some aquarists work out methods for recreating these harsh environments in an aquarium and keeping of these will become the extreme aquarium hobby!

wouldnt you have to keep the tank dark all the time im guessing since therye deep watered they would be extremely sensitive to some light
i think if someone was to keep deep watered fish with success that would be good for research on them and we would be able to study everything that was in the deep like the fish that came ashore in india during the tsunami we knew absolutely nothing about them there could be tons of things down there we know nothing about and we cant study em for long before they died

i seen a show on discovery channel that said if we spend half the money were spending on space travel we would be able to finally know whats at the bottom of the ocean also said the navy has stated that theyve been hearing sounds on sonar and what not of a "animal" believed to be larger than a whale but the sad thing is were probably killing species weve never seen or heard of their so cranked on this space travel $h!t that well probably never know whats down their and the show also talked about a sea serpent spotted several times in cali and a gator like animal spotted in the southeastern u.s. it was a great show
