When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast last summer, the resulting power failure and subsequent generator problem killed many of the 12,000 fish and animals at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans. The Aquarium of the Americas sent shrimp and mosquito fish and offered suggestions about how to set up the exhibit, which resembled a science shack in the Louisiana bayou. At Norwalk, Mr. Lenzycki said he had offered the Aquarium of the Americas a 55-pound cubera snapper, an aggressive, fast-growing fish native to the Gulf of Mexico.
