Paroon sharks at Newport Aquarium

[ColeFishing]

I went to the Newport aquarium for the first time today. They had a 30 gallon long tank with tons of elephant fish in it, but I also noticed there was around ten 3-4" paroon sharks. And in another tank(large tank, probably 300-400 gallons) there was around fifty 3-4" paroon sharks. I asked about the catfish to one of the fish people working there and they said there was a huge bust of people trying to sneak them into to USA and now they get to keep them. They also told me that they are only going to keep two-four in the 60,000 gallon tank and give the rest to aquarium around the nation. Just thought i'd share this.

Haha yeah. It's an awesome aquarium too. In their 60,000G tank they have four 5-6 foot arapaima, two 30" rtc, a 3' silver arowana, and a bunch of cichlids. They also have a 26" MBU puffer in a African tank. They also have a 12' gator named mighty mike.

I saw the same tanks about 2 weeks ago, we took the family up. Thanks for asking, I wondered about those!
