Feeding Time With Our New Tiger Shark | Chris
As you may have heard, the Aquarium now has a young female tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) on exhibit in Shark Lagoon! In honor of this groundbreaking display, I’ll be writing about the beautiful girl for my next couple blogs. Recently, I had the opportunity to be up close and personal for a Saturday morning feeding.

A Lecture Night at the Aquarium | Retired | Chris
The Aquarium has many amazing programs that go on beyond our normal operating hours. I haven’t had the opportunity to take advantage of them before, but recently my schedule opened up and one night, I was able to!

Keeping Busy During The Long Beach Grand Prix | Chris
Even when the Aquarium of the Pacific is closed to the public for the hubbub of the Long Beach Grand Prix, the work inside continues. In fact, for some of us the work INCREASES, because we have the opportunity to do some bigger projects that we can’t do during regular working days.

Jewels of Our Local Waters | Chris
I recently was asked why California doesn’t have as many “cool-looking fish” as places like Hawaii or the Caribbean. That question surprised me, because I think the answer is very different!

The Pacific Seahorse | Retired | Chris
One of the most fulfilling parts of an Aquarist’s work is raising baby fish and invertebrates to adulthood. Here at the Aquarium of the Pacific, we have successfully bred many different species of animals.

Introducing Aquarist Volunteer Chris Corpus | Chris
Hi there, fish-fans! My name is Chris Corpus and I’m very excited to be joining the team of bloggers here at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
I have been studying and caring for fish as a hobby for over 10 years. I have volunteered at the Aquarium for almost 2 years now, most of it as an aquarist in the Husbandry department. What does an aquarist do? Well, essentially being an aquarist is simply being a glorified janitor for fish!
