Cute little guy...

Razorback

Desert Fox

A Couple of Rattlers

Arctic Owl

Polar Bear

Chimp

...
And Now, for the good stuff! The Fish!

Nice Gar & Bowfin Tank

...

Blurry SA Cichlid Tank

...

Beautiful, Large Blackbelt

Little Monkey above his tank

Red Bellies

Nice, Large Oscar (Two Males)

Large SilverDollars

Enormous Pacu (one of three) with an RTC in the background

TSN

SA Arowana

More Big Pacu

Pacu/TSN

RTC in the back

Uaru's (SP)

Electric Eel

Nice Pleco in with Electric Eel (Hmmm?)

Huge Midas Pond

...

Deeper prt of Midas pond with a fish you can barely see in the background that was about 9 feet long

That's it. I want to give a big thanks to the head aquarium guy for the South American "zone". He let me go behind the public eye and see their growth tanks, breeder tanks, etc. ... extremely cool. Hope everyone enjoys!

Yeah, I couldn't get close to it because it hung out in the deep end of the pond... The guy told me its name--started with an A... similar to Arapoaha as I recall. The back portion of its tail looked almost like an arowana, but the front portion looked more like a Pike Cichlid of some sort.

Arapaima gigas.....the Pirarucu....a Osteoglossiforme related to the arowanas....can reach lengths of 12' or more.

Great SA tank pics, and I love the bowfin pics.
