What species do they have now where they used to have piranhas? Do you know why they got rid of the piranhas? I enjoyed that exhibit.
 
@ David Brown - the pirhanas all died due to a water issue. Then the exhibit was empty for a while. Then they put a variety of smaller colorful fish in. Then they all died due to a water issue (I think). Then the exhibit was empty for a long time. Now it has a green basilisk lizard, although at the moment there is a sign saying animal temporarily off exhibit. I have not heard why, but I assume he is in the health center for treatment of some kind.

that must be frustrating beyond belief for the staff. It's like the tank is cursed!
