Whenever you visit one of our touching exhibits with sting rays, you are sure to hear about how we trim the the stingers on our rays. Here is how it is done.

Let talk about our good friend, Keith the nurse shark who lives in Shark Lagoon.
Not long ago, one of our aquarists noticed that one of the Banggai cardinal fish in the coral reef exhibit on the first floor has not been eating for a while. We became increasingly concerned until we noticed that the little Banggai cardinal had a mouth full of babies!
Snappers are some of my favorite fish at the Aquarium. They can typically become quite large, are hydrodynamically shaped and are well adapted for predatory life. They are always enthusiastic when it comes to chow time which makes them a delight to feed. Many snappers are brilliantly colored with reds, blues, and yellows.

In this entry, I am going to share with you some of the things I learned about live foods and their upkeep.
A self-confessed "fish freak", David is an Aquarist Volunteer. He has many pets that didn't have gills before, but his love lies in the water. With a degree in biology and the many hours spent helping at the Aquarium, he will be able to share his knowledge about life under the water with you.
