now thats definition of monster lol, they are soooo awesomely cute :)
 
Wish your batteries hadnt gone dead. Would have loved to have seen the pbass.
 
Looks like there's a redtail cat in there too.

Cool to see, but too bad many of them were probably brought there by people that didn't realize how big the fish get. Most zoos and aquariums won't even accept pacu and large catfish anymore because so many people are trying to get rid of them.

I'd like to have some pacu and irridescent sharks but I don't think I'll ever build a tank big enough.

I think it is great that public aquariums have these things on display. It lets people know what they are getting themselvs into. A lot of people know how big a fish can get, but can't visualize it without seeing it in person. Also, they need to be full size because anything less only supports the idea that "they don't get that big". I think that every public aquarium should have a grown RTC, pacu, silver aro, shovelnose, and irridescent cat. Education is the best prevention.
