I actually got a day off work on my work trip in Sao Paulo Brazil. And I was able to get someone to me to some beachs, and on the way to one, I spotted an aquarium, and took alot of pics. Majority of these fish that can grow large, was VERY large, i'm talking 3 to 4 foot Iridecents, and 4 foot Red Tail Cats. It was crazy. I know some of them are dark, but it was because of the back grounds of the tanks.


pics will take a few seconds to load. They are large.

What a way to spend the day!

Just makes you realize how small your own tank is.

Sorry you missed the first aquarium. It would have been cool to compare the two of them.
