Three ex-employees of SeaQuest Fort Worth are blowing the whistle on the troubled animal aquarium at Ridgmar Mall.

According to a release, the employees have signed statements attesting to the fact that dozens of fish have died at the facility under inhumane conditions, including "horrific and prolonged animal suffering" and neglect — resulting in the death of two nurse sharks. (A nurse shark is a nocturnal animal that, in the wild, dwells on sandy bottoms and rock crevices during the day.)
 

The two sharks, named Icarus and Achilles, had been held in a tank too small for them and with poor water quality. The stress of their confinement affected them so severely that they stopped eating and died in May and June.

Icarus, Achilles, another shark named Zeus, two blacktip reef sharks, and seven eels were all crammed into a 10,000-gallon tank—a size suitable for just one nurse shark.
