I could almost see Cabela's having other tanks with biotopes for sport fish from other continents cause they do have displays of African game species and stuff, but Bass Pro Shop just kind of has to have a LMB tank (with other North American sport fish of course)
I would be curious to see how much the LM bass at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago would sell for. They have a school in their native exhibit and the smallest one is probably 13lbs while some the rest are even more enormous.
know it's old but instead of starting a new post................. I called to speak to person in charge of aquarium to see if they took native fish donations. Guess only mgnr can make that call, at least employee mentioned "quarantine" period. I can't even give my LMB away.
