Thought I'd share some photos I took at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, TN last December when me and my brother went down. The aquarium is awesome, that was my second time going, it's a 6 hour trip one way and it's worth every second of driving to see it! I'm not sure of the species, I assumed it was Florida hybrids...:popcorn:

cool pics look like monos to me but maybe hybrids
 
nice!! i love the tank setup!
 
It's pretty awesome, there are lots of pbass in there, I would say probably 20 or more. There is also an anaconda in the tank, I was talking to one of the volunteers and he said the anaconda actually ate one of the pbass a few months earlier. It was an awesome Amazon tank, but I wish they'd have more species!
 
I wouldn't risk it, piranhas are too skittish for my liking and the fact they are highly unpredictable make it not worth the risk IMO. It's a neat tank, all the piranha seemed quite calm in there especially when the pbass are as active as they are. The tank is pretty impressive, I should have got a full tank shot but it was kinda busy
