I was at the London Aquarium on Monday (No, it wasn't me who stole the £80,000 :) ) and took a load of photos.

Thought I would post some for your enjoyment.

First up - this looks like a few rocks, but there are actually two Stonefish at the front of the tank.

Here are some pics from the 1,000,000 litre Ocean tank.

(Note all pics have been reduced in size by at least 75% and quality has also been reduced - if anyone wants a copy of the original pics drop me a PM, bear in mind that each photo can be up to 700Kb in size).

Can you spot the flat fish in this one - talk about good camoflage (sp).

A couple of pics from a temperate pool with heavy wave motions, hence the blurring (honest).

I think the first one is a Gurnard...

Some pics of the Touchpool where you can stroke friendly rays native to the United Kingdom. There are thornback, undulate and spotted rays amongst other fish.

The rays will actually come up to the surface and flap vertically to splash water - kids love it.

That's it for this thread - I'll start another one later, otherwise there will be too many pics in one place.

The London Aquarium is one of my favourite places (except for all those darn tourists :grr:
