I visited the John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago today. I was most interested in visiting their "Amazon Rising" exhibit. I'm new to keeping discus and was anxious to see a "professional" exhibit of them.
Would you believe that they had NO discus on display?!?
I talked to some of the aquarium employees/tour guides and none of them had even heard of a discus!!! Even one employee that was specifically giving information on south American fish and their habitats did not know what a discus is. Finally, another worker talked to a supervisor and came back to me to say that maybe they'd have discus in a couple of months.
I was so disappointed. All of the exhibits were beautiful, natural settings, including "Amazon Rising", but the fish that I had so wanted to see were missing. :(
Oh well, I'll check back with them in the spring.
