For today's instalment of #NationalMarineWeek we have this brilliant blog about the original collectors of Linnaeus' fish specimens! Shockingly well preserved and valuable to taxonomic history, these specimens often have complex origins...
Read about it here:
A blue dart frog hugs the glass of its tank at the Cal Academy
A blue dacnis bird perches on a ledge with a worm
A blue and green lizard perches on a branch
A blue morpho butterfly rests on a large leaf near pink flowers
Distracting ourselves from the gloomy SF summer by admiring our colorful rainforest residents, who spend every day basking in the warmth of their temperature-controlled dome.

There's a tree-shaped piece of manzanita wood in the middle, a stack of slate made into a waterfall on the left, and several rocks. It is filled with a variety of plants, including floating plants, and lit from above by LED lights. You can see a few small glad and snails. There's also an ammonia monitor stuck to the front glass.
16 gallon rimless tank aquascape. I have ember tetras, a honey gourami, ramshorn and pond snails, and (as of yesterday) Amano shrimp in here.
