But it's not like there are a lot of public aquariums out there with large enough tanks to keep people's 'pets' that they bought for their 55g tank that grow larger then the tank itself.
True. It's become standard policy at most facilities to not take in animals from people. In fact most can only aquire animals from authorized suppliers now due to growing regulations.
