A Visit To London Aquarium

[mlawson]

Well, in the Holidays I went to London Aquarium, it was very busy, so was hard to get great pictures but I'll put a few on here anyway for those interested.

For those who dont know it's situated right by the London eye:

The first main display tank was for a temperate water biotope containig minnows and carp I quite liked this display, it wasn't as busy and the plants and fish looked good:

Some of the carp:

Some rainbow trout:

Some assorted koi:

A sunfish of some type:

And the main marine tank, which the whole place revolves around, it's difficult to get a decent pic:

Some random corals:

Goby/Blenny:

Spot the flatfish:

Yellow tangs:

A rainbowfish biotope, which wasn't 100% correct:

The big piranha tank, aswell as contanining 100's of Goodieds (or something similar):

More pictures and perhaps some videos coming soon.

Cheers,
Mike

If you think london is good.....you havent seen nothing.....pop down to plymouth to see the biggest aquarium in europe.....it's fantastic. I buy a yearly pass and take my kids all the time it's great..

London is a horrible place to live, everything is expensive the roads are congested and the council tax is some of the highest in the country and thats not to mention the high crime rates and air pollution. As soon as our mortgage is paid off and our son has finished his education we are getting as far away from London (or any other big city) as we can.

Been there a couple of times already and the first time I thought it was amazing.
But after I visited Lisbon and saw their "Oceanario" and came back to London and visited London Aquarium again I was like this is a little tank!

If you guys ever visit Lisbon I would advise in checking out Oceanario, I have some old photos of it I will create a post later with them.
