(You have been warned, Lindy. But these fishies are of the cute variety…)
The weather has been lovely –cool, but sunny, around 24oC. I thought that I’d brave the weekend crowd and take Josh and Zoë to Ocean Park last Saturday.
In a bid to retain and fight for market share against Disneyland, Ocean Park has undergone major redevelopment ever since Disneyland came to Hong Kong. Certain facilities have been upgraded, new ‘attractions’ have been added. One of the newer attractions is Amazing Asian Animals,
where you see pandas, red pandas, giant dragon salamanders… and koi and goldfish! Lots of them!
The goldfish came in different varieties and had fancy names like ryukin, black moor, lionhead, dragon-eye, fantail, bubble-eye, pearlscale, …
A ryukin
Bubble-eye. You can tell how it got its name. Zoë absolutely loved this one and didn’t want to move along from its tank.
I can’t remember what this one is.
The following are either ranchus or lionheads. I can’t remember. They all started to look the same after a while!
A couple of pearlscales that were really shy… These were my favorite. They had this round, egg-shaped body that looked like they’d swallowed a ping-pong ball! Really cute.
The End.

I could watch fish swim for hours : ) It is tranquil I think! I love your pictures. I always love your posts! Oh yes I do!
COOL pics! The one with the big cheeks reminds me of when I got my wisdoms out many yrs ago, lol
HA! Yes, live fish are of the acceptable variety.
I'm surprised you didn't get a glare of the glass of the tank with your camera - you were really able to get great shots!
What fun, my kiddos would have loved seeing them. Nice pictures!
beautiful! I felt like I was there! Thanks!! stop by
Oooh...I love Ocean Park!!! Do they still have the sky trolley to take you from the rides over to the "zoo" area?
lovely photos - we tried to visit there while we were in HK in 2005, but our trip coincided with a monsoon!
Those are my favorite too! In fact, I sort of feel like one of those today.
That was a great fishy tail! :) Beautiful shots too.
Happy WW!

What great pictures! That's amazing you were able to get everything so clearly and without glare, considering the glass *and* the water!

@Lindy and Elizabeth: I didn't use flash, so that helped. :)
Those are gorgeous shots!!
Oh I love this! Scott and I used to raise and rescue fish, and a lot of goldfish. They get sick so easily, so we'd nurse sick goldfish back to good health. I so love them!
