Bleh. If I never hear another kid scream "Look mommy! It's Nemo!" I'll die happy.
(For the uninformed - lucky people, you - ''Nemo" is the title character from the Disney movie. Specifically, he's a clownfish. So anytime a kid who's seen that movie sees a clownfish...)
We went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It was more driving than I ever want to do again anytime soon - but it was /amazing/.. they have walk-thru tunnels, where you can .. well, walk through water and see all the fish swimming over, to the sides and UNDER you.. which is weird when it's sharks and little manta-rays. /little/ being the operative term - none of these guys were more than three feet long, if they were that big.
Saw the seals - seals are interesting. Saw the otters - little brats were mugging for the cameras. ^^
The other interesting thing there - they have a sort of 'petting zoo' type thing - a pool in which they have star-fish and anemonies you can touch. I have laid fingers on a starfish.. several starfish. Some of 'em are rough, but they had one or two that were soft.. interesting.
Didn't have the guts to pet an anemony though. ^^

Glass cats - the nearly transparent catfishie-critters. I wouldn't mind having one of them. Still debating the cichlids. Need to find an excuse to go by Kraemers and see what all they have this week .. if they have any Corydoras, I might get a couple - we shall see. Or platies - Mom was /raising/ platies for a while, so I'm familiar with the breed. Heh.

Oh - someone pointed out that there's no link to the gallery here. Never occured to me that that might be a problem - so I'll see about fixing it.
In the meantime - that should hold you. ^^
