i've been here for awhile and the only one I know of is the Baltimore aquarium. about a 45 min drive away from DC.
there is a DC Aquarium that is actually in the basement of the EPA (i'm pretty sure it's the EPA)

it isn't very large, or impressive, but it's something interesting to see. They do have a quite impressive giant gourami. haha, one of the people who was standing next to me thought that it was a regular kissing gourami,just really old. he was trying to convince me that his kissing gourami would get that large if it was put in a pond. I couldn't convince him out of it, ooh well.
