I know, but it is still hard and many times hard to replicate or substitute wild harvesting. Can you name a few of those aquariums?Seadragons have successfully bred at quite a few collections in North America, Europe *and* Australia
Just off the top of my head, SeaLife Weymouth, Melbourne Zoo, Poema del Mar, Aquarium of the Pacific and Monterey Bay.
They don't, they do have multiple Mobula hypostoma though. They used to have a Mobula mobular as well, but it died last year.
Hi ,

Went to Oceanarium last week...no more Giant Sunfish on display . A little bummed about it, still a very aquarium.

That's shame! When I was there one month ago, there was still one on display.
Two Zebra sharks (Stegostoma fasciatum) that arrived at Oceanarium from Aquarium Nausicaa last year are now on show!

How did they source the old ones? No chance of them getting more?
Does anyone have any more info on this as it’s been a few months since they were last not seen?
Thinking to go over Christmas but they were the major draw for me.
I have seen one on October 7th. It was a young and small one, though... I had to ask aquarium personnel to point it out to me.

This thread hasn't been updated in years but for anyone curious: yes, the Lisbon Oceanarium still has an ocean sunfish. You can see one in the main tank in this video taken a month ago:

In other news, the Magellanic penguins are currently off exhibit as their habitat is being renovated.
