    LOL, I should probably shut up too. I am going on about wrasses, puffer fish, anglers what they eat, where they sleep. It really is annoying I am sure, another hobbyist nerd would be right there with me though.

    When me and my gal went to sea world she just kept saying things like yep, cool, and neat. I think she was being nice. Great pictures, I like the porcupine one the best. Dog face looks good too, if that's what puffer that is. How big is the place?

    It's not very big, the largest tank looks about 1000 gallons, and there are only 14 display tanks. The garden eel display is really cool.

    The facility is on the ground of the Desert Museum so it's a cool place to hang regardless of the aquarium. It's a zoo with desert animals, 18 species of Rattle Snakes, Mountain Lions all mammals/birds and reptiles endemic to the Sonoran Desert.

    I didn't know they were doing this down there; it's been a few years now since I was out that way. Definitely a worthwhile stop for any Tucson visitor/tourist.
