Make sure to see the sticky at the top of the URS forum regarding Borneman, Calfo and Sanjay Joshi coming to the Seneca Park Zoo.

I took at least a dozen of the Sohal. Only 3 or 4 are any good. One time it came right up in front of the camera from out of the blue and scared the living crap out of me. It's a pretty big fish!

is this fish still at the zoo?

 

[Krypt1979]

It was still there last year for sure, and I think it was still there 3-4 months ago when I took the kids.

I haven't been to the zoo in years. Maybe I should make plans.

He's sexy. Just saw him friday. Hadn't been in years. The new addition is nice. Baby lions are cute. I skipped the $ 6 hot dogs. The place was packed.

Am I stupid? The only sticky I see on URS is the group buy.

It wasn't there several weeks ago, the tank looks pretty neglected.

I don't get it - does the zoo just not have the budget to pay someone to maintain it? This tank was pretty cool, and it could be amazing - and it shouldn't take more than a couple hours a week.

I've been told by a close source that a new larger tank is in the works. I'll ask for an update.

Interesting - I wonder who's doing it one of the local shops?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

I don't know who maintains that aquarium nowadays but it should not be a voluntary position (in my opinion).
They don't necessarily need a marine biologist with a degree but they DO need someone that knows what they're doing.
Again- I have not seen this display recently (or recent pix of it) so I have no idea what became of our generous donations.
