Schramm Education Center Ak-Sar-Ben Aquarium

I've recently searched this place and from one picture online it seems they keep paddlefish, does anyone know for certain if they still have them? I always thought this facility was more of a nature center and wouldn't think they'd be likely to have such a fish. They're pretty close to Omaha, so curious if anyone on here has visited recently.

I visited two years ago and I could probably upload some photos to a gallery. I believe they do have paddlefish, and they do have a nice aquarium for a small facility.
 
@SusScrofa I added some new photos I took at this place to the gallery:

Apparently I visited on September 26th, 2021 rather than the couple years ago that I thought I was there. I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked because I didn't have my camera with me and all the ones I have are from a cell phone. I have other pictures saved, but they are of common snakes and other turtles and aren't the best quality. The terrariums weren't all that special, and the aquarium is definitely different than when @snowleopard first posted pictures on here.

I couldn't quite tell if paddlefish were indeed kept here on my visit, but they would have had to been in the large freshwater fish tank.
 
Thank you for uploading those photos @MGolka!

Seems like a nice facility for native aquatic species, and it does seem like they expanded quite a bit compared to what the 2014 photos uploaded show.
