Don't just take it...You might want ask first :-)
Also, that thing about the glass is true. My head might not be glass but I
have been smacked in the head by a pacu's tail and it hurt almost like a
migraine.

Were I work we dive in the exhibit with them and made the mistake of getting
too close to one when checking part of the filter system and it startled and
hit me in the head.

Be sure to ask first. I went on the behind-the-scenes tour of the Newport
Aquarium at the ACA convention last month. They said they'd stopped taking
pacu and red tail catfish donations.
