There might be some crazy people out there who have Great Whites in a tank
Actually a great white has only been kept successfully in a (public) aquarium once, and she was released after a few months. For some reason they don't live long there.

i think the monteray aquarium has two female great whites in their main tank.

Hm, I went and googled it.
Apparently they do keep whites for a while but release them after a few months or days. They seem to only want live food.
Bull Sharks, Dusky Smooth Hounds, and (I think) Spinner Sharks can live in freshwater. There are also a small group of Requiem Sharks that live in full freshwater. I believe there is a thread about them in the primative fish sectionmidnight;1001531; said:are there any real fw sharks?

They're in the Glyphis genus. They stay relatively small, at 2-3 meters......
They look really cool though, check it out;
