Thanks for the kind words, AquaDaily. I also wonder about some of the captive creatures we keep, both whales, as well as our smaller fish in our own tanks, but at the very least, I like to think our environment is usually less hostile than in the wild.

I don’t know if I’m more jealous of your trip or of your photography skills.

Have to admit I’m not a huge fan of keeping wales in captivity (as in anyone keeping them – not me personally!) but that photo seems so alive.

Good to see the jellies made it there okay. I helped pack them up and ship them in September.

I could easily live in that one room with that huge tank. One giant room with a great view! But it would have to be freshwater.

Thanks for the comments. Ava, yes, these pictures are mine. A lot of it is luck, plus those Jellyfish tanks are usually well lit with that blue background, which helps. Thanks!

I can’t believe these people actually dive into tanks to trim the plants. Talk about devotion!

Great pics! Did you take them? How did you get such an amazing shot of the jellyfish?

Wow, I have never heard of, let alone seen, a sea dragon before. They are crazy looking! Now I must go find more pictures of them
