Inside the Butterfly House

This photo gives you a good idea of what the Melbourne Zoo Butterfly House looks like. It's a much more permanent structure than a lot of the other butterfly houses that I've seen and has a nice variety of colourful butterflies. I visited on a wet weekday so that's why it looks so quiet but anyone that's been to Melbourne Zoo will tell you that this is usually one of the most popular exhibits and when it's busy it becomes almost unbearable.

This is a very impressive butterfly house, and normally these type of structures do not hold much interest for me. I've strolled through enough greenhouses in zoos to rarely be impressed, but Melbourne's is perhaps the best that I've ever seen and it is hard to believe that this building opened in 1985 and is closing in on 30 years of age.
 
Does anyone remember what type of large fish lived in here? I remember seeing a very large fish in here some years ago.
