They have a tank next to the front door at PM Bibra lake, and it's full of beasts.
 
Thought I'd share some pix thereof. If I get any names wrong, feel free to correct; tankbusterss are not my thing.

The light for photography is not the best with daylight from the side and shop lighting, but I did my best

Amphilophus labiatus - red devil

Petenia splendida - bay snook There is a barramundi (lates calcarifer) behind who is being beaten like a red-headed stepchild in this tank.

Vieja synspilum female. Always trying to mate with guy in the pic below...

Vieja fenestratus male. He digs the hole and woos the female above, but apparently nothing comes of it (which is a good thing)

Moar snook!

Heterotilapia buttikoferi- Usually pretty damn aggressive, but in this tank of foul tempered monsters, it is quiet and restrained. Scuse my thumb..

Full tanks shot that prolly would have killed in the comp...

Paratheraps sp. "Coatzacoalcos". There were quite a few of these for sale at various sizes, but too small for that tank. I liked them so thought I'd include a shot. Cheap, too, from what I recall...

My kid loves looking at this display tank when I go in to this shop.
One noticeable thing about this shop is how healthy the fish are. It's quite noticeable.

The fene male looks like it has some marble gene's. Niether here nor there.
I might have to pop in for a look.

 

Thanks for the pics Kleinz.
