Went to the PPG Aquarium today at the Pittsburgh Zoo and they had an awesome display of Leafy Sea Dragons! Pics were a little tough with the moisture on the outer surface of the tank and the shape of the tank itself made it tough too(it's a totally round tank).Anyway here are some of the better pics.Took 196 pics in all throught the zoo and aquarium!

Nice pics.

I just love the leafy sea dragons. When they had an exhibit of them in Baltimore I think I stood in front of the tank for about an hour with my mouth hagging open. :)
 
Sweet pics ... thanks for sharing.

I saw leafys and Weedys at the Tampa Aquarium but you weren't allowed to use a flash ... never did get any good pics.

I've always thought that the weedy dragons? (2nd pic) looked like kangaroos of the sea.

you know, i've always thought that myself too, i guess it wasnt just me then! :D
 
Those are incredible. They are nearly impossible to keep by the hobbyist b/c they have very hard requirements. I always love to see them! :D
 
The first pic is a weedy seadragon, the second pic is the Leafy. I really like the colors on the on the 4th and 5th pics. The blue on the leafy in the 5th pic is really nice. The white pattern on the snout of the weedy in the 4th pic is unique to each individual dragon. They are like finger prints.

Awsome pics! Thanks for sharing.
