Bye bye Nicci

Well it's a traddition that if someone who has been at the aquarium for a while leaves ... they either get pushed or have to jump into the Atlantic tank. And Nicci was leaving

Well the some stats the Atlantic tank is between 10-13 degrees Celsius ... so pretty cold even on a good day.






James and Christie aslo made a turn into the pool.






Lizzy Got a very wet hug ;o)

Then into the shower everyone went.


The rest of the photo's where all taken when we went out afterwards for Nicci's leaving do





Just a side note the video's aren't mine they were taken by Karen one of the volunteers that work at the Aquarium.

Parental care

I took these two photo's of a male clownfish in the aquarium. The red stuff on the rock is some eggs that the female laid and he was responsible for keeping them oxygenated. So he will move from his anemone and wave his little fin over them to keep the water moving so they get more oxygen. He was so cute so I decided to put them in here.







These are some of the rays at the ray pool.





The rest are just some arb photo's I took around the aquarium.
