Would love to check that out if I ever make it out that way again! Also encouraged by their work with anurans.

I am pleased to say that I was able to send them some first captive-bred, T&E species that I worked with in DC: Woundfin (Plagopterus argentissimus) and Beautiful shiners (Cyprinella formosa).
I would love to see their new facility and all of the other native, T&E species they have. Bonytail chubs and Razorback suckers are very unique and amazing fish that I also had the privliege to work with.
The thing I'd like to see more of in aquariums across the country are large displays of non-game fish species. Hats off to the folks at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum for putting this together.

Agreed. The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, IA, has huge tanks full of mostly non-game fish. Lots of gars, suckers, sturgeon, paddlefish, bowfin, etc. And the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago is also adding more of the lesser known species.
I wish I could get to this place to ogle the razorbacks!
