Tim,
...The very large fish is Arapaima gigas. They are the largest scaled freshwater fish. They are interesting primitive fish. They come to the surface to gulp air like Tarpon and they are mouth brooders. When smaller they are lighter colored.
...I have not been to Jax Zoo in quite awhile. My friend Carl Betz who is a co-author of Venomous Snakes of the SE US works in the reptile department of the zoo.
Jeff
