Newport Aquarium

Ohio History

Fish of Every Size

Even though we live miles from any ocean shore here in Ohio, we need not travel far to enjoy gorgeous underwater life! At the Newport Aquarium in Cincinnati, Ohio, you can take a dive in the underwater world. Each aquarium takes a peek into a different tidal pool, river, or ocean somewhere on the planet. They hold literally thousands of fish in all different types, colors, and sizes. After you visit the Newport Aquarium, you'll feel like you've just gone scuba diving in ten different bodies of water all over the planet!

The beautiful picture above is from the Congo River tank. It held all kinds of tetras and cichlids, as well as the Sixbar Distichodus (can you pronounce that name?) in the front of this picture. I loved watching these colorful fish swim around.
