Awesome Underwater Photos

Got an email today that was filled with some prety awesome underwater photos that I thought I’d share here. I don’t know who took these pictures but they look like it’s a compilation of pictures throughout the Internet. It’s amazing how they’re able to take such clear pictures and even more amazing how colorful everything is in the ocean. These are awesome and hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did.

Not Your Typical Fish Tank Anymore

A few days ago, I came across this article in the LA Times that focused on the growing trend of aquascaping your aquarium. Ofcourse they mentioned Takashi Amano (to which I have a fond connection toward). It’s a really interesting article that you should read if you have the chance.

Some of the creations are just amazing....

Kuroshio Sea – One Big Fish Tank

I love aquariums and this one I will have to visit next time I’m in Japan. It’s located in the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan. It’s so big that they call this aquarium/tank the Kuroshio Sea. How Big? How about FOUR whale sharks. FOUR!!!! Not only just whale sharks, there’s a lot of other types of fish such as manta rays, tunas that total about 80 species combined. Amazing. To add to the amazement, only 3 tanks in the world are able to hold whale sharks and this one can hold 4. The thing I like...

Jellyfish Crop Circle

The best crop circle I’ve seen! Usually they’re weird shapes and this time, the latest crop circle looks like a jellyfish! It’s about 660ft and it’s near Coombes, Oxfordshire..where a lot of other crop circles have turned up. Most crop circles are smaller than this one so this makes it pretty impressive. What do you think? Done by people with computers and volunteers? Or by jellyfish like aliens? Read More →

A World With No Pets….

Received an important email today from our sponsor ThatFishPlace that I thought I would share with you all. Here’s what it says… Attention Pet Owners What would the world be like without pets? A new bill proposed in the House could make this a reality. All pet owners should be aware of a pending federal government resolution. House Resolution 669 is designed to change the way the government classifies animals available in the pet trade. If passed into law it will severely impact keeping pets in America and could...
