I went to the Tennessee aquarium yesterday and while they didn't have much in the way of loaches, they did have some huge B. almorhae. This big one wouldn't come to the front so I couldn't get a good shot but it's good enough to show her girth. I'm guessing she was about 7 inches long.

I really like this aquarium but that's probably because I'm so into the local animals. Much of the freshwater is devoted to North American fish and animals. It's designed really well so it's virtually impossible to miss anything.Jim Powers wrote:
By the way, Ken, how is the Tennessee Aquarium? I have been tempted to go there. Its about 8 hours from me, I think.
The saltwater is OK but nothing special.
It's kind of funny because the first thing you see in the freshwater building are saltwater fish and the first thing you see in the saltwater building are freshwater

Well, sort of.Jim Powers wrote:Isn't it designed to mimic a rivers course from the mountains to the ocean? I was thinking it starts with a mountain pool full of monster trout.
You start in the seahorse room and then take a very long escalator to the top of the building with is sort of a greenhouse/aviary. There are trout and minnows and otters and snakes up there. The building is dominated by 2 huge tanks of which one is saltwater and the other freshwater so whenever you get to the middle, your surrounded by these 2 tanks. They have rooms with swamp creatures and others with stream creatures and lots of turtles mixed throughout.
I've got a bunch of pics so when I get them sorted and cleaned up, I'll post some in the freshwater forum
