The rumor is that the fish were dropped into the tanks as juvies by visitors and the zoo has a no kill policy on animals in their exhibits. The tanks are all open topped and there is a rain forest exhibit above the tanks that you can walk through. One of the other tanks has a breeding population of dovii in with the aripimas, red tail cats and pacu. The rtc's are huge. Probably close to 4 feet long.
Thanks for the comments guys. These pictures probably represent about 5% of all the aquarium pics I've taken over the years. You're right, cichlids are very underrepresented.
I was suprised to see the FHs at National, but the largest orange one was incredibly personable. It made me think he'd been a pet at some point in his life. As I circled the tank he followed me the whole time, and would stay right up at the glass, facing me.
The Sajica at Newport was a nice surprise to see.
I'm glad you all liked him too.

Haha not much... all of these places are close to family members so I just go when I visit them.
I need to go back to Shedd, I remember they had a nice RD tank but they all seem to be getting old and raggedy looking.

I wish your would see more CA displays at public aquariums. Every public aquarium I have been to has RD/midas in their SA displays. Why do they all do this?
