Ahhhhh, 'fishies', lovely little... Oh! Hello. Sorry, just got carried away. Hey, wait a minute, you're here to read my blog, aren't you? Well, OK then, yesterday we went to an aquarium and saw some fish.
In the first tank there was a fish that looked like it had horns. In the same tank there was some sharks lurking about and a big turtle hanging motionless in the water. In another tank there was a huge eel with little fish moving quickly across it, eating parasites off it. So the eel gets rid of parasites and the fish gets a meal. This is called symbiosis.
Want to know what was in another tank? Well, there were some super dads. Super dads have some special body parts. Each one has: a head like a horse, a nose like an aardvark, eyes like a lizard, a tail like an armadillo and a pouch like a kangaroo. Another name for a super dad is a seahorse.
OK then, next tank. It was a weird sight to see some fish that looked like worms sticking out of the ground. One of them usually had to duck quickly into the sand because a fish was after him.
Jellyfish were in two other tanks. Some were sitting upside down, making the ground look like it had wigs!
Now the building wasn't just an aquarium. There was also a turtle sub (an old time war sub) in another part of the building. I got to sit in it.
A whale hunting boat was in the next room, on the boat as a gun that was used to kill whales at top speed. Beside the boat there was some baleen . This is the stuff whales use to sieve the water to get food. Hanging down from the roof there was a huge whale skeleton. Imagine the sound of a whales song echoing softly and then it does a death scream as a harpoon hits.
On the way out of the building I saw a picture of an eel with a shrimp cleaning it's teeth like a living toothbrush.
Do you think this holiday of mine is cool? It is to me, and now, back to day dreaming about lovely fishies...

I would have loved to see the aquarium - a nice safe way to see all those underwater creatures. The gentleman who used to own the pet shop in Brookfield, breed seahorses and send them overseas. Maybe some of those you saw came from NZ. Hillary is teaching you heaps because I am certainly learning a lot from YOU!
There are some things very fishy about these stories.Are chips available anywhere too?
I thought you could see a SuperDad at home without going to a fish tank.
Yes.Hilary is teahing me lots.
