Former manatee tank, now getting prepared to house Pacu (Colossoma macropomum)

Most of the plants that were around the tank are removed, hopefully they get replaced it now looks quite bare.
What happened to the manatee and which manatee specie did they have?
 
@Nix They had Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus), the last male was send to Randers zoo (Denmark) in 2002. After that the tank held multiple fish species like redtail catfish but later cane toads and until recently radiated tortoises. I still refer to it as the manatee tank eventhough it hasn't held manatees for almost 20 years.
