Patient Updates

Blue was released after 79 days in our care.

You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.

Blue is getting so big she’s barely recognizable! She will soon be moved to a pre release pool where she can compete with more animals.

Blue has been moved to a pool where she is learning to compete with her pool mates Aiden and Leila.

A new graduate of fish school! It took a few days of trying and asking for help from her caregivers…but Blue is now eating on her own!

Blue is almost eating fish on her own but seems to think that fish grow out of people’s hands... Oh well.

Blue has gained quite a bit of weight already. She is now being weaned and almost ready for fish school!

Blue is being described as 'sassy'. She's very small, quite sweet and suckles on *everything*. She doesn't like people getting too close and is quite wiggly during her feeds.
