Shark Tank at the Greensboro Science Center Aquarium - SciQuarium

Last stop on my visit to the Greensboro Science Center's new "SciQuarium" aquarium was the shark tank. This very large tank houses several sharks as well as schools of fish in varying sizes. Since sharks are always active and swimming around, this is a very interesting exhibit to watch, although it was admittedly rather hard to get a decent picture of the swiftly-moving sharks with my phone. 

This section of the SciQuarium is rather dimly lit, so that the tank, which is lit from within, stands out even more. It's kind of like watching an ever-changing movie or live show. There are benches provided so that you can sit and rest while watching the fish swim at length. It is very relaxing, just like having a nice aquarium at home, but with far less trouble about cleaning and feeding and water changes. If you want to sit, though, prepare to be patient, because a lot of people want to stand right up next to the glass to get a good, close-up view!


This could be a different shark, or the same one swimming in a different direction.

They seemed to all be the same kind. This photo is the best one of the other fish in the tank.In this picture, you can see another one of the sharks in the background (upper left corner--click photo for a larger view), which will give you an idea of the great size of the tank.

All photos taken, rather poorly, by me. Clicking will get you a larger view, which might help!
