Sick fish at Epcot aquarium

[alizarin]

I went to Epcot last weekend and saw their huge aquarium at "The Seas" and was totally disgusted! Every one of thousands of fish was sick with fins rotted or rotting off. They had another few smaller aquariums that would be unimpressive if some of us kept them (some corals, clown fish, yellow tang) and those weren't doing well either - bleached coral, trimmed ragged fins on the fish. It was the same thing last year. They make such a big show about respecting the seas and how they've got a crack team of marine biologists but I can't fathom (sorry for the pun) how an organization with so much money could do a worse job of it than one of us could.

The tank looked pretty beat up... they did just add the Nemo ride though it, i wonder how much stress that added to the environment?

Upstairs they used tohave a bunch of smaller tanks, sea horses, etc. The tanks were all gone a few weeks ago when we went. It is sad.

The only thing that seems to be ok was their little frag tank. the frags have grown pretty well since may of 06.
