Because no technology has been found yet that resolves the plastic "aging" problem that causes dull-looking in acrylic tank after certain years of use, and because "easy-to-get scratched" on acrylic tanks is still a major disadvantage, our answer is No, despite the fact that making curvy acrylic tank would require a lot less investment in equipment, labor, and technology than making curvy glass tank.

To date, there have been no known cases of H5N1 anywhere in North America. At the AZA-accredited institutions with birds, animal care experts already have a regular routine to carefully monitor the health of their birds, as well as the other animals. Experts at AZA zoos and aquariums know these animals better than anyone else, and are attuned to the slightest behavior change that may indicate that an animal is ill.

There is little chance of visitors contracting avian flu from an affected zoo or aquarium animal because in most cases, visitors are separated from the birds by windows or by a safe distance. This prevents visitors from coming into direct contact with the birds or their bodily discharge (feces, saliva, and nasal discharges).

Animal care is the first priority at AZA-accredited institutions. The guidelines recommended by AZA are designed to protect the health of animals, staff, and visitors. In developing the guidelines, we have evaluated all the options and selected the best courses of action based on the tactics that most effectively address the different contingencies. Individual members must make the best decision on what measures are most effective for their own zoo or aquarium.

Not really. The acrylic cases are very fragile and we have them shipped to us and then us to you. The bigger the case, the more likely it is to be damaged and it's far more expensive to ship oversized items. Plus, really big cases require the acrylic to be thicker to prevent bending, which makes the frame very heavy and very dangerous to the fragile butterflies inside. Handling this large heavy frame becomes more difficult and if just one butterfly breaks the display is ruined.

All of our display cases are glass and mirror. While we have carried an acrylic line of display cases in the past, it has been discontinued.

Acrylic nails are the most common form of nail enhancement in the salon.
