Emo-Nemo?! 🖤🤍
Meet the Saddleback Clownfish! Did you know there are 30 species of clownfish? They each have their own colour variants, which can help them camouflage into the anemones they live amongst! This particular clownfish has striking black and white stripes, giving him a unique look from your typical ‘Nemo’, and a unique nickname from our staff😆
Time to finish off all the Christmas Veggies before we celebrate the New Year! 🥦🥕 Our Terrapins and Snapping Turtle Gary love bobbing for sprouts!

Happy world Jellfish Day!🪼 Today we are able to celebrate the brainless beauties that have been floating around our oceans for millions of years!
🌎 Jellyfish are composed of more than 200 species and are found in all five of our worlds oceans!
🌊 Jellyfish have been around for between 500 and 700 million years!😳 This makes them the oldest multi-organ animal on our planet! Their role in marine ecosystems is extremely important, as they are vastly considered keystone species in most oceanic food webs.
🧠 Quite ironically, jellyfish are not actually fish – fish anatomy origins around their spines, while jellyfish do not have a spine, gills, a brain, bones, or even blood!

Let’s feed our Archer Fish! 🦗 Archer fish have evolved a unique hunting method to capture insects, using precise jets of water to knock them off branches or leaves into the water, where the fish can easily consume them. This adaptation allows archer fish to exploit food sources that other fish can't access, giving them a competitive advantage in their habitat!!
GULP, And the Fish is Gone! Gary here doesn’t mess about! 🍽️🐟 Snapping Turtles are ambush predators, and often lie in wait of prey, striking out with their very powerful jaws. These ancient creatures have been around for over 90 millions years, meaning they lived alongside dinosaurs, and they certainly have that prehistoric look to them!🦖#snappingturtle
