joiwatani Says: The Oarai Aquarium is huge! They have a lot of collection of sharks. However, they don't maintain the big sharks. I think they release them after the shark reaches a certain age or weight.
joiwatani Says: Have you watched "Finding Nemo"? Here's a collection of these adorable, orange-colored fish. Any child who watched the Disney movie "Finding Nemo" will probably recognize this kind of fish right away. For some reason, I don't know their local name or scientific name.
