Newport aquarium is great. I've been there twice now and one of my fave things about it is the big room with different types of jellyfish. Each tank has an ornate frame around it so it feels like you are in a museum with jellyfish as the art on the wall.

I'm planning a trip to the Atlanta aquarium that opened up last week. It now boasts being the largest public aquarium in the world with 8 million gallons of water :eek: That blows the Shedd aquarium away in size and the Shedd is huge.
I went to the Shedd last month and wanted to stay longer after 5 hours of blissful fish viewing until they threw us out at closing time.

Here's a pic I took of the Shedds midas/devil tank. :drool:

While viewing this tank, there was a woman next to me who exclaimed to her husband "These fish are stupid! They all bumped their head on the glass!"

Under Water World in QLD AUS has a badass billabong display with some HUGE Lates Calcarifer and Lutjanus Argentimaculatus. Crocs and aussie arowana are also in there.

Also some massive aussie lungs. Some were 4ft.

Anyone visited the Atlanta aquarium yet?!?!??? --> www.georgiaaquarium.org The World's Largest Aquarium with 8 Million GALLONS!! :drool: I'll be going sometime in January when my best friend gets his two week "vacation" from serving in Iraq.

Not to mention their website is pretty slick (even though its not all up and running yet)

No doubt< I want to take a trip for a few days to Georgia to go to that aquarium. Since I live in Vancouver thou its a little pricey and far to go all the way for jsut an aquarium but we shall see! Our aquarium is old and has the same exhibits for the almost 25 years i've been alive! I still go all the time thou

What I want to know is which is the best aquarium for cichlid displays. I want to see some really nice big cichlid exhibits!
 
Ar u the fat guy in the blue and white strip shirt???
 
I'll probably be going to the ATL aquarium in January hopefully. Free room, board, and ticket :headbang2 :thumbsup:
