I know not all zoos and aquariums only keep saltwater fish, but it bothers me that so many people believe that only cool and attractive fish come from the ocean. For example, I am in the hiring process of getting a job at a theme park that houses fish, they're setting up a freshwater attraction, so when I asked what they will be housing in my excitement to hear of such a thing I was told it was for otters and marmosets (monkeys). So I asked will there be any fish, and the reply I got was freshwater fish aren't cute like saltwater fish. I think everyone would appreciate large fish like those seen in river monsters, as well as appreciate the beauty of SA, CA, and even African cichlids. Not to mention some beautiful sunfish and perch native to our own country. Sorry, I just had to vent.
By the way, feel free to list some zoos and aquariums with nice freshwater set ups. I know Niagara aquarium in Niagara Falls, NY has a set up with large mouth bass, some large catfish, and one amazing red arowana. Also, they house a good number of African cichlids, it's a smaller aquarium but the price is nice.
