While you can’t take it home with you, the lionfish is definitely worth stopping by to see! With its striking, flowing fins and vibrant colors, it’s no wonder the lionfish turns heads. But don’t be fooled by its beauty—those stunning spines are actually venomous! 😮💥

We can totally see why Schmidt loves these majestic fish so much. Their exotic look and graceful movement make them one of the aquarium’s must-see residents. 🧡

Which animal do YOU wish you could take home?

⚡️ Did you know? Electric eels can generate shocks of up to 600 volts! ⚡️ That’s enough electricity to stun prey or defend themselves against predators in the wild. These fascinating creatures have special organs made up of thousands of electrocytes (specialized cells) that work together to create their powerful electric discharges.
But don’t worry—here at the aquarium, our electric eel simulator lets you safely experience the “shock” without the danger!

Tag a friend you want to see test our electric eel shock simulation! Warning, they may want you to try it with them.⚡️😉

It’s true! 👀 Instead of eyelids to protect their eyes, fish have a transparent membrane called a nictitating membrane that covers their eyes. This unique adaptation helps keep their eyes moist and shielded from debris while allowing them to see clearly underwater! 🌊

Next time you’re at the aquarium, take a closer look at our fish friends and see how their eyes are always wide open, ready to explore their aquatic world! 🐠✨

Washing your hands before AND AFTER every animal encounter helps to protect not only the animals, but you too! Make sure you use soap, scrub between your fingers and under your nails, and sing your ABCs before you stop.🧽 Help us keep our animals safe and healthy!
