MASSIVE Arapaima, Manatee, and RTC tank!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Looks awesome and a ton of fun. Last week at SeaWorld I was looking into almost the same setup. They have 3 manatees, 2 gaint red tails but no arapaima. In place of them they had a bunch of gator gar. Ill have to post some pictures.

Yes thats the one im talking about. Forgot to add them in there. They also have some blue gill and large mouth in with them as well.
 
Cool pics.

Couple of points of clarification:
Dallas Aquarium is located at Fair Park and run by the Dallas Zoo. The Dallas WORLD Aquarium is privately owned and located downtown in the West End.

DWA vs SeaWorld - DWA has a pair manatees native to South America. They are the only two outside of SA of this species. Both were caught in fishing nets when calves and officials couldn't locate the parents. They came to the US with the vet staff from Venezuela.
The manatees at SeaWorld are North American (Florida Manatees) and part of the rehab program here (Deemed non-releasable after being rescued).
 
Saw an article about this place and posted it on here a couple weeks ago. Nice to see more pictures of them! I want to go there at some point
 
I believe that DWA still have some of the biggest Pacu in the world, some of them are over 3 feet long!
