There will be arapaima in here somewhere, it's much bigger than this.

@Wyman Your concern is safety of the animals or zoogeographic accuracy?

@FunkyGibbon I'd say both.

@Wyman The mix of manatee and arapaima has been successful at Singapore and Odense, with Carribean manatee in 'Amazon' exhibits. I think it looks fantastic.

I think Chimelong has the nicest African manatee exhibit in Asia!

Why would there be a safety concern by mixing the two species?
