I've been all over. These are from St Paul's Zoo. After that I was with Underwater Adventures Aq. Been working with several other places as well.
I will just say that things aren't always as fun as they look - and dealing with fish on this level can motivate people to do things that aren't best for the animals. I don't want to be with a place that doesn't have animals well being as the #1 priority. Anyone who works in this field will atest to the same thing. My goal is to provide the best possible care for captive animals - whether that's through exhibit construction/design, to daily husbandry, to long term research and sharing of knowledge. Education and Conservation are center points for me. If a mistake is made, I think the best thing to do is learn from it and move on. Cheating, lying, cover ups and making unheard of amounts of money are NOT things I want to be associated with.
I will be happy to die a poor, homeless man who was able to pass on knowledge of fish keeping to the next generation.

Matt, please lmk the next time you plan a trip there. I live down the block and would love a tour from you! I checked out the exhibit when it was new, but havent been there since. It is a sweet set up though!

Will do. I only go once in awhile when I have free time.
As for the peacock bass spp...I have no clue. They had a bunch of mixed stuff that looked half hybrid to me. Not sure where they are getting the stock from these days.
