Well, since my family decided to go to the zoo today I figured I gotta post some pics of their aquarium! They've got lots of awesome fish and huge ones too! While it's mostly freshwater there are some sweet salt water tanks too! Can't wait to get there and show off why people say everything's bigger in Texas!

Thanks for posting these. People don't always realize how large many of the so called home aquarium tank species get. And those tanks are huge.
"So much room for activities!"

Step Brothers! Yeah I agree, every time i see those Boeseman's Rainbows in the tank I'm amazed.

True. Those Boesemans Rainbows look like they are on steroids! "What are you looking at, girly-man?!?!"


I know! I'd almost be afraid to clean the tank! I'd lose an arm or something

Those are some beautiful fish. Nice to see large species in large tanks. My lfs has a 200 gallon planted rainbow fish tank. I'll post a picture from the face book page if I find it.
