For anyone who doesn't remember, a few years back I was helping Como Zoo (St Paul, MN) put in their first real fish displays - namely, a mix species freshwater South American set up. Took a trip over to visit again this afternoon with some local fish people and thought I'd share some of the pics.
Not all are great, but it give you an idea of how things are going. Sadly, the rather large stingray collection I was so proud of is down to one on display.
Plenty of silver dollar, pacu, peacock bass, and niger catfish to show. You have no idea how hard it was not to jump in and clean the freakin' algae off the display walls.
If you remember my thread about building it, these two 'tree trunks' on the right side encase the twin bio towers for the two bigger displays.
And a few of the cichlid and archer tanks I had set up.
