At 9AM Central time (US) we're tossing in the first fish!!! See the thread in the video forum to watch them go in live on webcam.

More pics....

These are the first of the fish on exhibit. The exhibit is so big, and not really even close to full, so it's hard to get good shots. I still need to do a lot of work getting the 'look' right. But the fish that are in there look awesome and very happy.

Then you will feel our -20 degree windchill and change your mind.

Ewurm - I'll be in a little on Sat to do some decor work, and I'll be there all day Sunday.

I'll take some more pics after redoing the configuration of the branches.

Looks great. May be a stupid question. But where do you get the branches from?

The fish look like they are in fish heaven with all that space...! You're gonna have a lot of breeding goin on in there, aren't you! Love to see a pic of a 100 strong Con shoal...thats gonna be a lot of fry when they get going....which should be about 5 minutes...
Can't wait to see more pics.
Great result Matt, am I right in saying your gonna have 'Pimas in there too?

Branches are 'real'....soaked over time to sink them.

More pics from today. Sadly, we lost one of the big pacu overnight. He weighed over 45 lbs when we pulled it out. Necropsy showed nothing other than she was VERY old.
