Eels and Sharks - One of the largest tanks I have seen

I am not exaggerating when I say that this tank was huge. It contained anything from large sting rays to a six foot eel. It also was not a standard shape. I cannot help but imagine the work put into shaping this tank.

There were pretty nice coral inserts for this aquarium.

Inside of this aquarium was a six foot and three inch eel (1.9 meters).

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.

Hope you enjoyed the images! :)

Fish from around the World | Sea Life Aquarium

The beginning of May I took a trip to the other side of Michigan with my parents. This trip was for a doctors visit, one that was only available on the other side of the state, but what is the point of just going to the doctor? We got a one night hotel stay, headed to the nearby mall, and made a trip out of it.

Our main plan was the Sea Life Aquarium. I am a sucker for animals, especially invertebrates, fish, reptiles, and the like. This place had a few of those off of the list.

The beginning room had the entirety of Sea Life's freshwater fish. It moved into brackish afterwards, and finished with saltwater. Many may not think of freshwater being that exotic or even interesting; however, it can be just as exciting as some saltwater aquariums.

Every so often there would be some sort of interactivity with the aquariums. These viewing bubbles were very common for the larger tanks.

A couple of the exhibits had bubbles shaped to allow visitors a unique view. These indents would be on the bottom, and people could be fully engulfed with the tank.

There are many more images to explore from this visit. Hope you enjoyed these ones :)
