Went to the zoo... AMAZING photo

[sudz]

do you think i should put it up for freshwater pic of the month?
Went to the toronto zoo. This is probably about... 1/3rd of the tank. For the full size (5 megapixel) version, PM me, Its 900kb, it wouldn't let me post it.

It was their "african rift lake" setup. I dont know if its 100% accurate, but it was an impressive site to see! the tank was about 10 feet tall, 8 feet deep, and maybe 16-20 feet wide. Impressive.

Unfortuantely i caught some glare. I took a 50 mb video of it, i want to see if i can get it to loop and use it as a screen saver

You need written permission to submit for F/W pic of the month since it is not your tank.

It's definitely a cool pic.

If it's not your personal tank, you need written permission to use it.

I have swum in Lake Malawi and that is pretty much how I remember it. Thousands of fish! I had been pretty badly sunburned and was peeling at the time and those cichlids literally attacked me lol. My wife sat on the boat and outright refused to get in the water because there were so may fish. Great experience though..I kept cichlids for years after that.

now THAT is a cichlid tank!

daaaaamn

I've seen some pretty crazy cichlid tanks, but that is rediculous lol not in a bad way though. It looks like a fish-traffic-jam

Busch Gardens Tampa has a tank like that with a nice current running through it, so most of the fish are facing the same direction. I probably have a pic somewhere. they hace a few bigger fish there too. not to mention the two hippos that run through. I love that tank, and the ones at sea world.
