I’ve shot a bit of video…not great as I don’t (yet) have a video camera, so I’m using the video function of my digital camera. All of the vid displayed on this page was shot at public aquariums. Below are links to blog posts with vid of my aquarium, which can also be viewed on the YouTube Playlist: My Aquariums.
- Fish: A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Words (2 vids of new pink skunk clownfish)
- Hermit Crab Crossing (video, photo montage)
- Housing Crisis: Cortez is evicted
- Cam–”In Action”
- A Stolen Meal
- Zooplankton
- Cali Does It For The Camera
- Elle Opening Up
Original sound (which at public aquariums is typically dozens of kids shrieking at the top of their lungs) has been removed—in most cases replaced by a less intrusive low bubbling soundtrack recorded from one of my aquariums—to make the viewing a more pleasant experience.
New footage is added to the top of this page. You can leave comments at the bottom of the page, or click through to leave comments on YouTube. Comments here, at the bottom of this page, will be much appreciated, especially if you identify some of the less-common fish in the general fish vids.

Glad to see somebody enjoyed our exhibits enough to take and post videos! I’m the reefkeeper at the zoo (used to do jellies, nautilus, octopus, etc.). Interesting to note in your clownfish video…the mail is either cleaning that snail shell in preparation for spawn or cleaning eggs that have already been deposited. They lay quite frequently over the last year…but I’ve only had time to raise a handful.

I love the Zoo aquarium! I shot more footage (including clownfish) in November, just haven’t uploaded it yet. I’ll try to do that today. Do others beside the clownfish reproduce in the aquariums? I noticed there are about twice as many jellyfish as a year or two ago. The tank actually looks overcrowded to me (but I tend to always understock my aquariums).
