Shedd’s seahorse exhibit closing">Shedd’s seahorse exhibit closing

CNN notes the closing of the Sheed Aquarium’s “Seahorse Symphony” exhibit. Alison & I saw this in 1998 or 1999, and it was wonderful. (More recently, we took Katie to see it at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, but it wasn’t nearly as good.) I had no idea that the exhibit was such a big deal scientifically, in that seahorses had never been kept in captivity successfully for very long periods of time.
