It's a setup!

The opening to a horror film: The little girl tosses something to the thing in the tank beyond her, It rises up and eats her, then all the tanks explode and the fish go on a rampage!

Maybe my imagination is having an overload. I do like the 2012 image a lot better!

Isle be there

The last time we glimpsed the Belle Isle Aquarium, it was closed because of tough economic times in Detroit. Since then, the Aquarium found funds and volunteer staff, reopened (in 2012), and recently completed an upgrade during lockdown.

Belle Isle Conservatory

A Treasure

Tiny by modern public aquarium standards, but none can match its beauty.
