In Dallas the main attraction is the Dallas World Aquarium. It's a huge all indoor aquarium, terrarium and simulated rain forest with exibits and animals from all over the world.

But we also have the Dallas Aquarium. It's a small little aquarium center that opened in 1936. I heard it was shutting down in 2 weeks and I haven't been there in years so I went to give it one last look. They were already shutting down some of the tanks and stuff but I found out they're doing a remodel and will reopen in about 2 years fully updated.

Most of the tanks were not even labeled with what the fish were.

You can't tell but this bowfin is at least 3 feet long.

those are some nice fish and it does look like it needs a remodel it's a little dull as far as tank decor but looks like fun
 
Imagine what went through the owner of that aquariums mind when he heard news of the other Dallas aquairum opening up....outta business. Do they get many visitors?
 
Nice shots! Thanks for sharing them with us.
