Very nice aquarium. Looks like they didn't leave anything unfinished. Did most of the exhibits have terrestrial animals living up top, or was most of that for looks?

Just for looks. The Aligator in the escalator pic is fake. hehe.

The are very pretty exhibits.

Glad everyone liked the pics.

I was thinking of all my fellow MFKers the whole time!!

I was like,

"Oooh. They'll wanna see this and this and this and those and these"

how big was the biggest arapaima?

Yeah, i thought it was real until i went right up and looked at its face.
Cause you know how they're always sitting on rocks with their mouths open?
Well, it looks VERY realistic until you're right next to it.
I was like "Whoa, look at the crocodile. Then i saw it was fake and felt like an asshat"

how big was the biggest arapaima?

I would have to guess.... around 8-10 feet? I could be wrong. I'm a bad judge.
They can get up to 13 feet right? None of them were that big. But I think there were some that were 8-10 feet long.
