Up Close and Personal, Fishy Portraits : Sea Life Aquarium

Continuing the visit to Sea Life Aquarium in Michigan, the freshwater section begins to lead to the brackish and saltwater tanks. Another thing that comes to mind about this beginning area of Sea Life Aquarium is that it was themed similar to a forest or jungle. While the salt water sections were all blue and ocean themed.

This first image shows a community tank. The aquarium was viewable from most angles, and contained a couple puffer fish.
The large tanks on the wall focused on schools of medium sized fish. They were still community tanks, and many had small stingray, but the school caught your attention easily.

Finally managed to find one of the little guys resting by the side of the tank.

One of the larger tanks contained a few of these more colorful fish. They didn't seem to form schools, but rather swam freely around the bottom half of the tanks.

This fish was one of the largest in this tank. It liked to come up close to the sides, but would move when I would try to get a picture. It was almost like it knew what I was doing.

The tank with the colorful fish, and the fish above, also had these stingray.
