Georgia Aquarium (very pic heavy, plus videos)

My team goes to the GA dome to play, and every year, I visit the aquarium.

It's so cool, and they add new stuff every 90 days, so there have been a few new things since I was there last, and I have to say, it's still cool.

Here's some pictures and videos


The 'boring stuff' first

Vase in the hotel


View from the hotel






A MONSTER truck haha


Hard Rock (also go there every time we go)


Andddd... In the aquarium. I only put up the best or most interesting of 100 pictures, to save some time :]

Garden Eels


Cuttlefish


Ehh.. Ratfish? I think?


No idea, just thought it was funny how he looked at me


Wolf Eel :drool: I want one so bad now that I've seen this ugly beauty!


Don't know what this is


Scorpion fish, I think this is the best pic that I took of the night, he was posed perfectly. He blended in and I almost didn't see him.


Cold water touch tank, touching the anemones was so cool


No idea what this is, but I thought it was cool looking


GIANT SQUID


Discus/amazonian tank (discus, cardinals, cories, otto's, and a lot more, all live plants)









Cichlids


Tree frog


Gar... :drool:


Another community tank, live plants


Lion fish






Another STUNNING tank (what are the all of those fish?) :drool: :drool: :drool:









The BIG tank









Videos

The whale sharks FEEDING, SO COOL (sorry for my over zealous "wow's" haha, it was really amazing to see them do that.

Male beluga calling for the females (and pooping) very cool to hear the high pitched whine he made every time he jiggled

WOW! That's so cool. I really want to go there someday. My husband is not as into fish as I am so I haven't found a way to convince him to go yet lol.

Click to expand...

If you live close to it, just make a day out of it, visit that, then the coco cola bottling plant right next to it. He'll enjoy it even if he isn't into fish (I went before I got into fish, and I LOVED it, I've been there like 4 times haha)

If you don't live close to it, make a weekend out of it. I had to travel 6 1/2 hours to get there.
