Zoo Miami's Amazon display.

This doesn't do the display animals justice. They are far bigger than this makes them look. These have to be 60+ lbs each. For rough comparison, I'm about 5'7". They should put something like this in pet stores selling these fish.

But then the store people couldnt lie and tell prospective customers that the pacu could live comfortably in a fifty five...awesome display though,I can spot another pacu and a pima up above.

6 young arapaima (four footers), one of the biggest silver arowana I've ever seen (and that's saying a LOT), red tails, tiger shovel noses, pacu, cichlids, rays and a mix of turtles. Everything is native Amazon based as far as decoration in the display.

Any Niger cats in there and do any of the silvers have drop eye?

These pacu look to be black/red hybrid. True blacks stay longer, with a more football shape. They have the body shape of a red, but the counter shading coloration of a black.
The silver aro has no drop eye at all.
