All over the US. The best Amazon based display (Orinoco technically) I've ever seen is the Dallas World Aquarium. It's where I got my start. Another one of the largest is at the aquarium in Minnesota (now SeaLife MN). I created a 145,000 gallon Amazon there several years ago. They also have one of the largest (if not THE largest) FW displays out there - 220,000 gallons. It's displaying native North American fish.

I always hate seeing fake plants and corals in displays

If it is supposed to be a realistic representative - what is the living example called? Any idea?

Hate seeing fake stuff - I didn't expect that here.

I went to the Cincinnati Zoo back in 1991 and they had some extremely huge Pacus. Pretty sure they were bigger then these in this thread.
