I live in NJ, and i went to the state aquarium and man was it amazing. Unfortunaetly couldnt get any pics because I didint have my digital camera
But as you enter the you see a massive aquairum ... maybe 2000 gallons or more with about 10-12 pace, 2 arowanes (i think asians), 4-5 stingrays and im pretty sure i saw a bichir in there. It was really amazing.
Then i saw all types of fish. Sharks (and it was like seaworld where you walked in a tunnel underneath between the tank so the sharks were swimming above you. You could even swim with the sharks but i was to scared
They had the regualr stuff like jellyfish freshwater alligator and such, so i wont bore you with that. But the cool part was they had this fish called dragon fish or something like that. Itv was amazinginly beutiful. It look very skiiny shaper like a dragon, and had like colorful leafs kind of things around it. If you go on google and type dragon fish it is the 1st image, but i think the image doesnt do justice.
They had a huge amount of saltwater tanks though. They had a 5 big lionfish along with other fish in 1 tank and the lionfish must have been atleast 8-10"
They had those fish you saw in finding nemo that stay in the dark with 1 light attached to them. You couldnt see their faces in the tank but you kept seeing the light go on. I saw moray's, and this fish that camouflaged with the rock. It was really cool.
But one of the best parts was that they had a 276,000 gallon tank. They had many sharks, and this one shark that only a few aquariums throughoiut the world held in captivity. But in that tank was HUGE turtles, fish, rays, and basically every fish
The cool thing was the rays looked as if they were flying through the water because i guess thats how they swim in the ocean and thats how the tank looked like the ocean
But my favorite part was the african chiclids area. They had atleast 200-500 african chiclids in a pretty massive tank. Maybe 4000-5000 gallons, and the tank had like a pondish looked to it. So you could see the top and the side view. And in that tank they had 4 hippos! Ya im not joking im serious. They were huge and they swam so close to the glass. It really looked like a river in africa. Beutfiul expeirence, and not one fish tank was unclean, or over-stocked. And ofcourse they didint have any dead fish in their tanks.
What a worthwhile expierence. For those who live in NJ or near NJ i think it is a amazing place to see. Its in camden, NJ and is the state aquarium of NJ.
So far the best i have seen
