Big Fish Tank

Supposedly the largest fish tank aquarium in the world, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia contains more than 8.1 million gallons of fresh and marine water that’s home to more than 500 different species that total over 100,000 animals. Some of the special creatures include beluga whales, whale sharks and a manta ray.

The Georgia Aquarium was mainly funded by a $250 million dollar donation from Bernie Marcus, better known as the founder of Home Depot.  His generosity created a beautiful place where people could come to look at fish in their natural habitat.

Feeding these animals is a daunting task. All meals are prepared in a specially designed kitchen which actually has to maintain a higher standard than your typical restaurant kitchen. The freezer holds some 20,000 odd pounds of food and the refrigerator holds around 6,000 pounds of food.  Imagine trying to feed a small army every day.  That’s what it’s like at the Georgia Aquarium!
