The Greater Cleveland Aquarium has added a lot to their exhibits since they first opened. They now have a lot of animals in their collection such as poison dart frogs, Argentine black and white tegus, Curl-crested aracaris, tortoises and frilled lizards among others. The most talked-about exhibit is probably the Seatube and shark gallery. There's a 175-foot-long tunnel under the water where you can see sand tiger sharks, nurse sharks and sandbar sharks up close.
Another thriller is the Coastal Boardwalk gallery where you can feed and touch the stingrays. Keep an eye out for upside-down jellyfish, Pacific spiny lumpsuckers, and pot-bellied seahorses.
The Tropical Forest gallery underwent a recent renovation. Here you can see the mata mata turtle, which is an ambush predator with a killer head. There are red bellied piranhas too!
Look for Toby the giant gourami in the Asia & Indonesia gallery, along with the archer fish, who spit water out into the air to knock down insects.
One exhibit which was not included in this video was the flashlight fish gallery, because they are kept in complete darkness and my camera was not able to get a clean image. Through the naked eye, however, they are a fascinating site!
