Hello there,
I am the current operations manager / curator of the Belle Isle Aquarium here in Detroit. We a are a bit of a small and misfit operation going on here but have sights set for the future. Each week now we have been adding at least one new exhibit and currently (at the time of writing this) the emphasis is on Rift Lake species. We are currently setting up exhibits of some of the lessor displayed species for a public aquarium. Examples being those that inhabit the sand and near shore areas rather than rock. Currently we have on display Enantiopus sp. "Kilisa", Lamprologus ocellatus "Gold", Cyprichromis leptosoma "Utinta" and Cyathopharynx furcifer "Ruziba". Another exhibit very soon to be opened will have Ctenochromis horei, Callochromis Pleurospilus "Kigoma Flame", Neolamprologus tetracanthus, Synodontis multipunctatus and Lamprichthys tanganicanus. Other fish are also on display but in a state of quarantine on exhibit and not in finalized aquascaped exhibits. Some of these being Malawi trout cichlids, Peacock bass, and Fossorichromis. Most are grow outs at this point as that is what will work best in the long run. Lots more going on but this is but a small list of the fishes currently inhabiting the aquarium. More arrive weekly.
