The Fish Guy visits AOFC!

Have you seen our awesome fish aquarium that we have in our school? 

The Fish Guy is responsible for building and taking care of it! It is a beautiful 1,000 gallon tank. All of the decor inside of the tank was created by Universal Rock out of Dallas, TX. Universal Rock is the company that created all of the rocks and props for Jurassic Park! Another really cool fact is that our fish aquarium has fish from three different continents! 

 We invited him as our special guest in honor of Beach Buddies week at AOFC.

 The children were so excited to see what sea creatures he brought with him! They loved listening to all the details about the different sea friends we got to meet today!

 I found Nemo! The Fish Guy brought two small Clown Fish for the children to see! This was definitely a huge hit of the afternoon.

 The children loved seeing the Sea Urchin up close! Did you know Sea Urchins have spiny shells for protection and love living in the warm ocean water!

The Fish Guy also brought Shrimp for our friends to look at! There are nearly 2000 different species of Shrimp!

Here is a great picture of some Star Fish he brought in and also, Grover, the Zebra Eel. He was the special guest of the show for sure!

Fun Zebra Eel Facts:
- They eat Shrimp and Crawfish
-The only eat once a week!
-They can grow up to 5 feet long!

I would say it was a great "Fishy" day at AOFC!
