LARGE EXOTICS
Large exotics sometimes get a reputation for being the baddest fish on the block. However, for experienced hobbyists, they provide an opportunity to observe beautiful and burly fish. Capital Exotic Fish offers many sizable tanks to sustainably house large exotics, including a 600-gallon show tank. And we have numerous other aquariums that are 120 gallons or larger.
