Austin Aquarium coming soon
- Thread starter Warborg
- Start date
Ok...I finally went. Personally I was a little disappointed. All but 3 tanks were saltwater. Just about every big saltwater tank had 3 types of Fish: Stingray, Sm. Sharks or Starfish. Very small tanks(below 100) had jellyfish and puffers. The 3 freshwater had a clownknife and a bullhead in about a 2,000 gal, about a 750 with african cichlids and about a 500 with a few tetras(less then 10) and 1 Cichlid(maybe a 7in Umbree)
Non-fish was a turtle(18in),a 4 foot alligator, some snakes, Sm lizards, 2 3foot lizards and some birds

I don't know why the second set sometimes works and sometimes it links them(click em)
They had an empty 500 gallon over by the lizards so I guess they are adding another one. I asked if they will do more freshwater. They replied by saying they need licenses and permits.
Avoid that place if you can. One of the owners was sentenced to a year in prison for attempting to illegally import marine life.

I unfortunately have personal experience with the Covino family. Google "Ammon Covino", "Vince Covino","Peter Covino", or "Chris Conk" (most stuff happened in Idaho) to learn more than you ever wanted to know! They have absolutely no respect for any laws or the well-being of animals.
