Just a few pictures.
Every time we go to Cabela's I have to walk through the aquariums to see the fish. The pictures aren't great but I hope you enjoy them.
Most of the fish are native like this gar and the bass that I didn't get fully in the picture lol.
This time there were several new fish that are definitely not native to Texas waters.
These two were pretty big, the knifefish was nearly 2ft long and the catfish over a 1ft
If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.

That's what I thought too for a second Hardy. It does look like a giant cory.

Neat, I wish there was a Cabela's here.

I have no clue what Cabela's is but that is an interesting looking aquarium nonetheless.

Scotti, I have trouble identifying fish I do like, lol. A quick google search seems to say yes, you are right and it is a giraffe nosed catfish.

Talldutchie, Cabela's is a hunting/fishing/sporting supply store and most if not all have huge aquariums stocked with native fish.
Thank you for the comments everyone!If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?

The site I looked at says these ones get up to 45cm, and this one was well on its way to that size.
