Trip to the Newport Aquarium (pics)

Today was my dad's birthday, so I took him to the Newport Aquarium in Newport Kentucky...
Anyways, I took some pics so I thought I would share. If you live in the cincinatti area and have never gone, or plan to visit the area and need something fun to do, go to the Newport Aquarium!!
It's not a huge aquarium but its well worth it IMO if your a fish fan.

Giant reef tank

Imagine this thing in your living room


This lionfish was at least 15 inches

beautiful threadfin bf and tang

Some kind of fish from the amazon

The piranhas were cool although it would have been cooler to see them in a feeding frenzy.

Dont remember what it is, but it was cool looking

Gigantic anemone

some kind of ray
 

This alligator snapping turtle can live to 150 years old!! I wonder how old he is now

More huge anemones

entering the tunnel


sea turtle

Me and my dad petting some sharks

Outside the aquarium on the levee looking towards Cincinatti
