seriously though, its a sad loss...

i don't know of any parasitics that can cause peritonitis (what the first one died from)..

parasitic infections, and the abscess/ruptures they cause, certainly can and due cause this.


I think there is a lot of value in keeping whale sharks in an aquarium, as someone wiser then me once said:

"In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught."
