My family and I went to the Dallas Aquarium on Saturday and they had an awesome freshwater setup that included a Manatee and some of the biggest Arapaima and Red Tail Cats I have ever seen. All of this was taken with my phone so I apologize for the quality, but I though you would enjoy seeing it.

Here is the freshwater tank

They also have a really good Shark tank that has a tunnel right through the middle. Here are some shots from inside the tunnel and from above it. The saw fish was probably my favorite in this tank.

They also had a huge bird, monkey, and other animals at the Aquarium. Its actually really cool, becuase you walk into the top and spiral down a big water fall that has monkeys and birds and from the top you can see fish swimming below where the waterfall goes. As you go further and further down the spiral, the aquariums start getting bigger and bigger. Here is a few other pictures we snapped.

Really colorful flamingos
