mothwingThis is a backdated entry. I meant to post it at the time, but never got round to.
Yesterday, Crocky and I went to SeaWorld, and it's a beautiful place. The lighting is amazing, the tanks seem, by an large, to be of a fairly reasonable size, the fish were all bred in captivity and there is a member of staff in each room who explains interesting things about the fish and makes sure that no one stresses the fishes with flashlights or hitting the glass.
The frst aquariums were full of local fishes that could be found in the Leine and the Ihme:
The lights in these were amazing. It was a bit worrying to see so many fishes, especially really big carps in one aquarium, packed so tightly.
I love that fish's expression:
European chub with pretty, pretty scales:
I don't know the name of these guys in German or in English and I didn't check when I took the picture, but I love how they blend into their background here.
Whee, mudskippers.
One of the surgeonfishes, I think. Pretty lilac stripes.
They have a beautiful big seawater aquarium with other tropical fishes.
We were lucky enough to be in time for the tortoises to be fed. With lettuce.
Prerequisite jellyfish:
Yellow tang. I loved the colour of that one.
Nemo wall with lots ofpalette doctorfishes Dorys:
Boxfishes just have the greatest faces.
Piranhas!
Yay, duckweed.
They're having a seahorse exhibition at the moment. I found that seahorses are more boring to look at than I thought they would be.
I absolutely love lionfishes:
Hai thar.
Yay, shrimp. They had these in an aquarium which was low enough for kids to get a good look at them and, which was great, to stick their hands into to have these little guys scuttle all over them, cleaning them.
