Thank You Minnesota Aquarium Society!

A big thanks to Stephan Tanner for hosting me during my stay in Minneapolis, MN. The Minnesota Aquarium Society has a great group of hobbyists. Many are very knowledgeable and dedicated to such groups of fish as Bettas, Loricarrids, Corydoras and Killifish. I truly enjoyed my stay despite my luggage and fish being lost for four hours! Many thanks to those that opened their homes for me to share their fishrooms and fish stores.

A trip to Minneapolis is not complete without visiting the Mall of America. While I knew there was basically an amusement park inside of the mall, it is one thing to see it on TV and another to see it in person. I was completely overwhelmed in the amount of rides some of which include water and the amount of places to shop and eat. The Mall of America even has an aquarium (see photos below). The aquarium is kind of your typical collection of fish and inverts. It would have been nice to see the space used more properly but it was still worth seeing. If you are ever in Minneapolis, be sure to check this place out. You may need a few days to go through it especially for the shopper in your family.
