Monos

[Fella]

My girlfriends parents live in Plymouth, so every time I go visit, I make sure I take some time out to see the National Aquarium

They have an exhibit with Monos (over a hundred I'd say) in, and this is it -

They're in the reef tank they have!

You can see a black tip reef shark, a humphead wrasse and other fish in some of the photos.

Also in the tank are Lionfish, Damsels, Anthias, Parrotfish and usually a loggerhead turtle (but "Snorkel" was at the vets today apparently).

So, for people who have seen them in freshwater, their own brackish tanks this here they are in saltwater too!

Just thought it might be of interest to those into brackish.

Wonderful isn't it?
I live near plymouth and go to the aquarium a couple of times a year.
If I remember rightly that's the Pacific Reef exhibit, their name not mine.
All sorts of fish in that one.
Nice pictures.

I think they've changed the name to Coral seas. Either way, still an amazing exhibit.

Lovely to see them in such a big tank. If you can call it a tank. LOL

And, if I'm not mistaken, in the third picture it looks as though there are also some porkfish and a species of batfish in there, too! Nice pics, I love that shark I want it SO badly!!!!

I loved this tank when I saw it, was staggared by the amount of Monos there were. Dont worry about not seeing the Loggerhead, its not that great. Did you see the only freshwater tank there? Had about 20 fish species named on the side of the tank, but could only see about 6. Odd stocking though, Spotted Gars with Kribs......

I go 2 or 3 times a year depending. The freshwater tank was drained when i was there, which isn't too much of a shame because like you say, it's a mess really, looks like rescued fish that have been brought in just go in there.

I went to the biggest aquarium in Korea, and they had a huge(Though not as big as that) saltwater tank with monos, scats, goatfish, lookdowns and Undulate(?) triggerfish. It was impressive, but this also matches it!

The shark is a nice touch.

That would make sense. I lived near Plymouth, Ma and never knew about an existing aquarium there, so I was happy for a moment.
