Blue Zoo is Coming to West Des Moines to the Villages at Jordan Creek.
(It is Next door to Torrid across from DSW and Best Buy)
I spoke with Steve who is getting it set up and he said they are hiring for all positions.

They are a interactive educational aquarium that is coming to West Des Moines.

They would love to have people from a community of people who are already knowledgeable in either/or Freshwater and Saltwater

They do not have the West Des Moines Job online yet. So Stop in to the Store and Ask for Steve and let them know your from the Aquariology Club.

It does seem most jobs run anywhere from $12 to $17 an hour in other locations. I'm not sure what they will be here.

Water Wisteria (Hygrophila Difformis) vs Water Spirte "Fern" (Ceratopteris Thalictroides) and "Broad Leaf" (Ceratopteris Cornuta)

These 3 plants are commonly mistanken for each other. Here is a snapshot of each one that will help you identify each one as well as help you in growing each one. All are amazing beginner plants and staple plants for many people.

You want a fast grower Float Broad Leaf Water Sprite! It will compete with your Duckweed! If not out compete it.
