Even considering the quality of what I am assuming is a phone camera. That dovii pwns rec's (<<lol) And the midas are lumpy! And the giant squid is nice to finally see on display. Now we need to catch a colossus squid.

Last time I went to UnderWater World, was about 3-4 months ago. Have they removed the 3-4ft Iridescent sharks? There was no dovii when I last visited. Pity the freshwater section is very small.

Also, I dont get how there are MILLIONS of those tiny fish on the outskirts, yet dont get eaten. That amazon display is my favourite at UWW. 2nd to that is the big reef with the metal bar infront. In the area with the multiple 'small' reef's. And the escalators and the african car.
I must see if I can get my parents to drive me there on the holidays.

hey mmystix212,i saw the dovii dissapear at times and i saw no iredesent sharks but maybe thats cause i stood in front if the amazon tank to long.i wish they had more freshwater stuff too.years ago,bout10,i went and they had huge bass,yellowbellys and silverperch but i didnt see em this time.the african four wheel drive is cool hey.i guess lil fish survive as the big ones get fed heaps.did u mean the lil ones in the amazon tank or in the saltwater tanks.finally how awesome r those big barra and mangrove jack.

There should of been about 12-15 3-4 footers along with the pacu, RTC and midas/red devils.

The tiny silver fish in the amazon tank with the pacu, red devils etc.

I dont recall seing those fish. Were they in the tank with the huge sawfish?

That giant squid looks like it's in really good condition.

Went there earlier this year, queensbirthday long weekend. Friggen sweet stuff (aul setup rocks, as well as the turtle tank, the barra tank with the croc and huge 6' eels. And the tank your pics have with the monster paroons!) Can't see why they would remove anything "they removed the 3-4ft Iridescent sharks? "


There was a really nice yella with the barra when i was there as well.

I dont see why they would remove the iridescent sharks, but apparently Bennet did not see them???
