 Two adult arapaima fish have died in the Amazonia exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Zoo. The first fish died Thursday, Nov. 19, and a second fish was found dead Friday, Nov. 27. The tank is being closely monitored by Zoo staff as a third adult is in poor health and is currently being treated with antibiotics. Staff have observed a slight improvement but remain guarded about the fish's prognosis. A fourth arapaima, an adolescent, appears healthy, but was started on antibiotics as a preventative measure.
