Before the sun rose, many of The Florida Aquarium’s animal care staff were getting their fins wet in the relocation of some of our biggest and oldest fish residents! Associate Curator Cristy Barrett walks through the planning and effort that went into moving our giant Red Drum fish from their Florida Wetlands habitat to a deeper and larger home.
“Those giant red drum have been in that habitat since we opened!” - Cristy Barrett
Get a new and up-close view of these giants in our Bays and Beaches gallery. Don’t forget to stop by and say hello to the new fish in the Florida Wetlands dome!
