Hi! I build aquariums for a living.
Hey, that's really cool. Do you work on big aquariums like the Georgia aquarium that is a whopping 6.3 million gallons?
I wish! Usually I do aquariums that measure 14 inches high, 4 feet wide, and 14 inches deep, but I also do customized for smaller sizes as well.
That's still cool :). The Georgia Aquarium has a lot of cool fish and also contains massive whale sharks
Awesome! I haven't been. I love that they keep sharks from going extinct it sounds like
Yeah and it's actually the only institution outside of Asia to house whale sharks
I can imagine. Not only is it an endangered species, they can be up to 40 feet or more and are the largest fish in the seas.
They're crazy big. I can't believe they just feed on plankton and nutrients in the sea
Some societies eat plankton themselves, including parts of Japan. Healthy but can be toxic.
Plankton
Plankton are the diverse collection of organisms that live in large bodies of water and are unable to swim against a current. The individual organisms constituting plankton are called plankters. They provide a crucial source of food to many large aquatic organisms, such as fish and whales.
These organisms include bacteria, archaea, algae, protozoa and drifting or floating animals that inhabit—for example—the pelagic zone of oceans, seas, or bodies of fresh water. Essentially, plankton are defined by their ecological niche rather than
. While they can breed in the wild, they can not breed in aquariums.
In the Aquarium.
Usually, the Niger Triggerfish that you find for sale are only juveniles so they are small. You need to keep in mind that these triggerfish can grow up to be 20 inches (51cm) in length which makes them quite a large triggerfish, so you will need a big aquarium to keep them in. Unlike some other Triggerfishes, this one can grow into its full adult size in a short amount
