Went to the Miami Metro Zoo with the wife and kid, didn't bring the camera, but took a few pics of some fish with my cell phone.

In the Children's Zoo area they had this poor oscar in a very small tank with just a small HOB filter. It is was a horrible case of HITH

They had 2 other tanks in this part of the zoo, one with 2 blind cave tetras, and another with this arowana

In the aviary of exotic birds they also had a large area of water which had a bunch of fish, such as tons of red empress, some Oreochromis sp., along with a huge Myxocyprinus asiaticus a.k.a. highfin shark, some tinfoil barbs, bala shark, iridescent sharks, rainbowfish, some koi, clown loaches, and then these big giant gourami, and FRT

nice pics..wish there were more :D
 
WTF with the oscar? Maybe they took it in? Was there any signage?

Seems kind of weird to be on display...
 
it just said what it is and basic info on oscars. there were no zookeepers or anything nearby to ask about the fish's background. There's no more pics, I forgot the camera and just took these with the cell phone.
