Meet Jack Heathcote… He Has The Largest Home Aquarium In The UK!

by admin on 03/24/2011 · 2 comments

This is a pretty interesting story… Jack Heathcote pictured above is a resident of Nottingham, UK where he transformed a cellar in his basement to the largest domestic aquarium in Europe.  The tank is about 13ft by 13ft by 7ft and contains 4,800 gallons of water and boasts a variety of exotic sea animals.  In order to clean the tank, Heathcote has to get inside as he is pictured in the second picture.  According to Dailymail:

And the collection in the tank – which includes some valuable species – consists of two chainsaw doradids, three 2ft long Pacus, some Pangasius, a Red tail hybrid catfish, two alligator gars, eight enormous stingrays and two Fly River turtles.

They will soon be joined by two silver arowanas, which are more commonly found in the Amazon River Basin.
