Shedd Aquarium Puffers

So my gf and I went to the Shedd Aquarium (Chicago) on 12/30/2009. Here are some pics of some of the puffers they have there. Sorry about the quality, I was using my Dad's Nikon D50 that I've never used before.

looks like you started to get the hang of the new camera - lookit the tail on that fellow!

It was an amazing sight to see in person. This guy was easy 2 ft. before the tail!

That Mbu was one of the reasons I bought the year pass. Every time I go there they it seems like they have something new or there is something I didn't notice.

looks like my SAPs need to put on some more weight compared to those.

nice shots, how big is the porcupine?

I would say he was around 7-8", but I don't remember it too well.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing! I'm lucky to live right near the Shedd.

stunning mbu and great looking other puffers. I was in chicago a couple months ago with my girlfriend and had planned to stop by the shedd but time didn't permit. I definitely hope to get back there soon.

Those are some great pics! I have been wanting to take a trip to the Shed Aquarium for years but haven't got around to it yet. I did just go to the Georgia Aquarium (the other one on my to-do-list) in July and didn't see any puffers

Nice pics...shedd is nice. Having it in the midwest is a seller for me obviously. Nicest aquarium I have ever been to though is the Boston aquarium. Seldom heard of, but worth checking out, unique layout, and excellent animal care. Everything was healthy. Something that I cannot say for the shedd.
