New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ not done. Would be great if you could talk more about the kind of organisms in the aquarium, just to add more flesh to the article.CrossTemple Jay 10:12, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Crosstemplejay: I was slightly worried that if I write too much about what's in the aquarium that the article would start becoming a tourist guide. Only primary sources go into detail, with most news sources either outlining the main types of fish only, or quoting the "over 33,000 marine animals" line without detailing. But I found some interesting articles about the sharks, so I used that to add a bit more to the article. JLJ001 (talk) 10:48, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @JLJ001: Much better now. Only a small concern left. The lead has facts that appear no where else in the article. The lead is a summary of the main body so if the fact is there but not in the article then it doesn't seem right. You can drop part of the lead into the main then and it will solve that issue. I will gladly give the tick after that. Please remember to do a QPQ too. CrossTemple Jay 10:59, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Crosstemplejay: I have done that and moved the citations to the main body of the article in doing so. JLJ001 (talk) 12:13, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- QPQ done at Petronius Maximus (hopefully correctly). JLJ001 (talk) 12:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC) Edit: see Template:Did you know nominations/Petronius Maximus. JLJ001 (talk) 15:02, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @JLJ001: Great work done. I am however, rewriting some sections of the article for you. After which in the spirit of neutrality, I would ask another reviewer to close this DYK. Again QPQ should be done on the article's DYK not on the article itself. I can see you are new here so dont worry. You will learn the ropes by and by.CrossTemple Jay 14:48, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

I have reworded some of the sentences and suggested an alternative hook. Ready for a reviewer.CrossTemple Jay 15:29, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
