The Seaquarium


Fish are hard to take pictures of in the wild unless you can find one that's curious enough to stay close to the camera. Not so in the Seaquarium in Camargue where the fishes have nowhere to run. However, they ask that you not use a flash so it helps to have a digital camera that is capable of taking low light pictures. This picture is of an Apogon kuderni.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Seaquarium. Of course, I enjoy most aquariums. I wanted to see what the native mediteranean fish looked like. Ironically, there were many of the same fish genera that I've seen in the Pacific including things like goat fish, morays and trigger fish. They're not as flashy as their Pacific cousins but are still quite pretty.
