ran into someone who said that the zoo in the centre of the universe (hahahaha) has a great tank with huge clowns in it.
Ya all Tdot folk... is this true?
better yet is it worth seeing?

this is their best tank and it speaks for itself. Every malawi cichlid there is, with absolutely no cover, in a big 8000 gallon cube tank, eating flake food, without a proper diet... Terrible water quality... uneducated staff...
Deformed ratty fish everywhere...

newshound.....angelfish83 and I visited the Zoo late last year and met with the aquatics curator. Then we went round the exhibits by ourselves. We saw no Clowns.
I have a full report prepared which we wish to present to them sometime soon. There are some very serious issues there that need resolving. I would rather not discuss them here in a public domain until we have had a chance to present our opinions and given them time to react.

angelfish: i heard that white fish with the lump got surgery to remove it..lots of visiters were complaining about the lump...
newshound: the vancouver aquarium here was a big (i forget, maybe 8x6') tank with a bunch of large clowns, i think there was a huge school of rasboras too..but its been 4 years since i was there...

ROFLMAO surgery?
Guaranteed they killed the thing. 1: you could not perform that surgery on that small a fish and 2: even if you did it'd die
most importantly 3:
nobody there is even 1/1000th competent to pull that off.

The Vancouver Aquarium has a great big tank with great big clowns in it. But they also keep orcas and belugas, so depending on your tastes, you may not wish to visit.

Martin, I'd submit that report alone if I were you.
Locking this thread now.
