Sporting brilliant colors and exotic names, the first fish have arrived at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific.
“Here they are, our first residents,” said marine biologist Sandy Brick. “It is so exciting to put the very first fish in.”
Currently 22 yellow tangs and nasotangs are in the Tropical Pacific Preview tank as about 100 construction workers finish the spectacular wave-shaped structure scheduled to open in June.
The aquarium near Queensway Bay will have 21 major exhibit tanks.
