I couldn't even imagine that kind of mess. I had a 125 gallon tank bust one time, couldn't imagine 13000 gallons. Hope they decide to fix or replace it with a new one.

ok, so how the heck are the 2" glow-tetras going to decimate anything else? first off they are tiny schooling fish. Yeah, I could see a group of blackskirt tetras maybe colonizing a small body of water lacking in large predators. San Marcos has a lot of introduced fish including tetras. But add in the bright colors, kinda screams "EAT ME" if you ask me... I don't buy that one at all. Sounds like a bunch of paranoid, uneducated people. there are a TON of other fish that need to be banned from the hobby entirely, tetras or glow-tetras are not on that list at all.
as for the tank, I did a bit of extra reading and found out the guys from the "fish tank kings" show are the ones that built that tank. From the bits I've seen on TV, that doesn't suprise me. It always seems like they are doing things halfway and their team sure comes off disfunctional. I know the TV producers are making the show for entertainment and they probably aren't being portrayed in an honest light but that's how it looks.... Kyle

Wonder if they'll be in business after the dust settles. You know the casino is gonna sue for lost revenue.

Once you have a reality show on the air, it only takes about 2 weeks for somebody to copy it. So much for creativity. Personally, I can't take all the drama associated with reality shows. Denny
