Unlike the curators of many public aquariums, however, Joe is also an ambitious coral-reef aquarist in his private life, and started as a hobbyist like thousands of others. Perhaps this is why Atlantis Marine World includes a gigantic reef aquarium, which contains 20,000 gallons (75,000 L) of seawater and the largest aquarium-grown biomass of stony corals in the world. Perhaps most exciting, the exhibit is now witnessing regular spawning events of many reef fish species from anthias to large tangs and wrasses.
Cryptocaryon infections and the like are always latent, but with good water quality, healthy food, cleaner shrimps, and cleaner wrasses, they can easily be kept under control.
BRUTAL!
Initially, the aquarium was devoted to the corals, and the fishes were something of a sideline. But many of them are now full grown and spawn regularly. We have just begun to collect the eggs of Yellow Tangs (Zebrasoma flavescens), Purple Tangs (Z. xanthurum), and Pacific Blue Tangs (Paracanthurus hepatus), also known as Palette Surgeonfish.
Em resumo, Oceanários, Sea Lifes e grandes aquários públicos com peixinhos há muitos... agora grandes aquários com corais brutais em crescimento e com posturas de peixes como Zebrassoma Flavescens, Xanthurums e Hepatus, isso já é outro nível, upa upa...
