A new Scheels sporting goods store opened up in Colorado Springs recently and they have a 16k gallon saltwater tank. It is fish only of course and the fake reef and corals looks cheesy, but you honestly don't really even notice it when you are looking at the fish.
The tanks is a series of arches supported by three huge columns.
Most of the time the majority of the fish stay down in the columns, but there are several species that seem to stay up top mostly.
I've only been twice so far, but each time I see another type of fish that I did not see there before. Here are several that they have:
Today I saw three Desjardini sailfin tangs swimming together, but I only got photos of two from my last trip.
They have lots of different rabbit fish, more than any other type I think (besides smaller fish that are easy to miss)
This guy was getting harassed when we first got there. After doing some shopping he was peacefully cruising the tank.
These big guys are almost always towards the surface.
Long swims on beach and some snuggle time?
These next two photos are of a rather large school of fish that stayed near the surface, anyone know what they are?
