The Tennessee Aquarium last spring was excellent, with one bugaboo to my
mind; their trout exhibit, a centerpiece, was full of bloated exotic trout
like browns and rainbows lolling around in the bottom of their trout pools.
These fish aren't native to the Appalachians, so the purist in me has great
difficulty in accepting their display without any comment on their exotic
status.
