Omaha Zoo adds 2 new species of fish to its aquarium

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two new species of fish are now on display at Omaha’s Zoo.

The zoo recently added 16 dwarf cuttlefish and two Atlantic goliath groupers to the Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium.

The groupers are considered extremely endangered because of overfishing and their slow rate of reproduction. They can grow to be 8-feet-long and 800 pounds.

The tiny cuttlefish were bred at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. They have the ability to change color for camouflage.
