    I took my son into central London yesterday and we spent a few hours at the London Aquarium.
    I tend to go every few years.

    There is a fantastic marine section.
    And also some nice fresh water displays. Among them are 2 tanks of tank busters. When I say tanks, I mean floor to ceiling.
    After seeing this, not sure how people keep these (Pacu, Red Tailed Cats, Giant Gouramis, Giraffe Catfish etc) in standard home aquariums.

    Went to Joburg zoo Saturday. Their Amazon display had a few tanks plus the tunnel tank . The hardscape layout was disappointing, to fake. Overall it was still nice. Those pacus get huge !!!
