Just wanted to show everyone a youtube video from the Coney island aquarium showing off their new exhibit. Its called the consrvation hall and I recognized a lot of the fish on here that we keep oursevles just on a much larger scale.Its very interesting to look at. I will be making my way there this weekend possibly and may post pics of the things I see.

Very interesting. Some nice habitat displays. Those of us who live near to a public aquarium are fortunate, as one can often see larger displays of our fish and obtain somewhat of a more natural perspective of fish interactions.

The quick scene near the end of the Discus in with cardinals is a very authentic aquascape, though the light in the Amazon would be much more dim.

Thanks for posting this.

I'm so jealous! You're making me think that a road trip to some kick butt aquariums should be on the list of things to do this spring/summer. Now if I can just convince the bf......... LOL.

The Boston aquarium is a little underwhelming IMO. They do have the humungous tank in the center of the building that you follow all the way up the floors which is amazing so it's got that going for it.
