freshwater aquarium in Brazil, the R$166m (US$53m, €48m, £34m) Aquario do Pantanal in the western city of Campo Grande was originally scheduled for completion at the end of 2014. Construction work however was significantly delayed and the aquarium is yet to be finished. Imported from Africa, Asia and Oceania, the fish have been in quarantine with a company called Anambi

Architect Ruy Ohtake designed the freshwater aquarium


since November. According to local media, 80 per cent of the population of more than 12,000 fish died from a temperature drop as winter approached in the southern hemisphere country. Government officials say
