Want to keep sea otters
Hello everyone this is my first post. I recently started admiring home aquariums and was wondering how many gallons it would take to house sea otters and anything else they are comparable with. Money is no object and I have a lot of room. Is 300,000 gallons too much or too little?

You can not own sea otters unless you have a permit and the permit takes 2 years to obtain.otters are also very needy animals they take a lot of care to keep healthy also they are not that friendly in all honesty. but 300,000 I am sure would be plenty considering some aquariums don't even have tanks that size.
