Did you know archerfish are basically nature’s sharpshooters? 🎯🐟

Found in our Asia & Indonesia Gallery, these fascinating fish hunt by shooting jets of water from their mouths to knock insects off branches above the water. Some can hit targets from several feet away with impressive accuracy!

This Memorial Day Weekend, Greater Cleveland Aquarium is saying thank you to those who serve our communities every day. 🇺🇸🌊

Offer available in person only with valid ID. Please do not purchase tickets online if you plan to use this offer.

Those dramatic fins aren’t just for show. 🦁🐟
Red Lionfish have venomous spines that help protect them from predators in the wild.

You can spot this striking species in our Industry & Habitat gallery!
