I have this thought that one could create a public aquarium that was much less expensive than large public aquariums, didn't have 12 foot sharks or killer whales, but did have live coral tanks and beautiful planted tanks which most large public aquariums don't have for the most part. This aquarium would have my fantasy of having all kinds of biotopes and restricted species that public aquariums can get permits for but is pretty impossible to have in a home, it would attract school groups for field trips, and wouldn't cost $15 or more per person which is minimum for many large public aquariums. I think maybe $5 would be reasonable. Most public aquariums don't have live coral and much in the way of planted tanks, and I think that one could create public interest without having to have huge sharks and outrageous prices. There could be tanks for smaller sharks and rays about the size of a van, there could be 3-4 foot Florida gars in fresh water tanks of similar size, smaller tanks with jellyfish and other see-through ocean creatures, and even a tidal zone of tidal pools with anemones crabs, sea weed etc that was sun-lit. There would be live reef tanks and beautiful planted tanks and I would have it connected to an aquarium store where people could create their own aquariums after getting "hooked" on under water creatures. I would have a small theater where people could see documentaries on underwater life and how to care for an aquarium. I would even give discounts for people who were willing to watch an instructional video on care of an aquarium and take an easy quiz when they buy a new system. There's a strange lack of live plants and live coral in most public aquariums, and then on the other hand there's incredible coral and planted tanks in many aquarium stores that only aquarium-people see for the most part. Why not create a small wonder-world that people could go to for a few bucks, that wasn't a long drive to get to, which had better looking tanks than most big public aquariums? It would enhance the attached store's sales, but at the same time educate people on aquarium care.
