A couple of weeks ago I visited a show aquarium which is set-up and maintained by a private association of hobby aquarists.
I have already visited quite a number of professional zoo aquariums. Many of those often impress with particularly unusual and sometimes very large species, whose keeping and care would exceed the possibilities of private aquarists.
However, I was deeply impressed by the design of the individual tanks in this privately operated aquarium. With great imagination and a lot of love for the details, enchanting underwater worlds were presented here. Foreign worlds which invited to enter them mentally. One scenery even made me to somehow drift in space.
Although it was technically a stretch for a mobile's cam I hope that a part of these underwater world's magic comes through with the following pictures.
Welcome to the reef.
Nemo's snuggery.
A pack of Piranhas - silently waiting for their prey.
(In fact, I learned that they are far less dangerous than their reputation suggests.)
Mr. Bullhead.
A seahorse breeding station.
Can there be anything more alien than these little creatures?
All photos were recorded by myself with an iPhone 6S.
