Bolton Aquarium visit

[catmar]

Took the kids to Bolton Museum and popped into the aquarium. Photo's aren't great, I had to fight holidaying families a five year old pocket camera and keep my eye on four kids. The very large tank which housed the Pseudodoras is being refurbished and some fish are temporarily cramped. Very nice S.American tank with Red Head Geophagus (couldn't get a decent pic of these unfortunately) and the pictured Panaque. Nice Peppered Cory tank, nice species tank with Labidochromis Caeruleus, nice Madagascan Cichlid tanks also.
In order (hopefully) Peppered corys, Panaque (two in the tank actually), S.American tank (the Geophagus in blur)-next post-, Pseudodoras niger and penultimately, I think a Jaguar Cichlid? The last photo I can't id-feel free to correct/educate me!

Part two Photo's.

Well that went well order wise! I'm sure you all know what's what-the 4th photo I can't id.

which one - the cichlid or the one with the spotted dollar on - the cichlid looks like paratilapia polleni or is that bleekeri these days/

Yes sorry, the one with the dollar. I'm familiar with L-No's but little else.

My local club had a tour of the back rooms of Bolton Aquarium a couple of years ago (September '07) with Paul Dixon- very interesting; for a public aquarium I was impressed with their breeding/raising tanks for a large range of fish. The baby C112s and C113s looked stunning, plus I came home with 5 f1 Corydoras weitzmani, which at one stage were the most skittish fish I had, but have finally settled down after two years.
