Title: What I did while everyone was enjoying the MCA auction
Post by: LoveTheFishies on May 14, 2013, 09:24:45 PM: I had to be out of town for the MCA auction. Still wanted to see some fish, so I went to the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco. There were alot of cool local fish, an underwater walkway, jellyfish and so on. Here are a couple of pix.

This ended up saving me some money... I didn't buy any new fish or tanks (I may be coming down with MTS). ;)

Awesome! I love jellyfish

They were awesome. The aquarium has actually been raising them there since the 80's. There were very nice setups. Subtle lighting, and the room was dark.

It was a baby, in a hands on tank.

There were 2 different tanks to walk through. One had schooling fish, like sardines, the rock fish and so on. The other was with more agressive fish, several species of sharks, sting rays, sturgeon.
