Paddlefish in North American facilities

I saw Paddlefish at Wildlife World Zoo yesterday and today I saw an incredible number of them at OdySea Aquarium. I know that @TinoPup already has OdySea down on her list, but today I would estimate that the facility has 40 Paddlefish in the same tank. It's an extraordinary image to see them all together.

40, wow! Glad to hear they're really committed to the species, it seems :)

Did they ever sort out the tank glass being crazy scratched up? It made taking pictures of the paddlefish very difficult the last time I was there.

FWIW I counted 27 at the Florida Aquarium, it may be an even 30, but counting them was a little difficult for me.

I didn't notice scratched glass at all. It's cool to see the species slowly expand in North American aquariums.
 
I just left Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and they have about 8 paddlefish in the large bayou tank.
