kevkoi Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Columbian "Marbled" motoro rays aka chain-link motoro. These are Selected pattern specimens. These rays come in such varied patterning even though they are all collected from the same locality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevkoi Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Glad you like it... That's my 'office' by the way. Took me nearly 3years of careful planning, negotiation and finally building to get this shop to where it is today. 3years ago when I first saw the site.. A year ago when we started working on the inside at the height of the Arabian desert summer (gets up to 50degree Celcius in Summer here!!) This was what the inside looked like in 2007 This was the same area being built in August 2008 This is August 2009. And this is my good mate Takashi Amano coming to visit in Doha Qatar this year.

Well the Aro is worth much less here than it is in Australia! (Well, everything costs more in Australia where Aquarium stuff is concerned anyway). What made me decide to build an Aquarium here? Well, for starters there's nothing like it here. The Aquarium/petshops here in the Middleeast is the DUMPS. Imagine the worst Petshop in Australia and then think 10times worst and you kinda get the idea of how it's like in Qatar. Even in the most affluent places like Dubai, their best Pet shops would be poorly rated by Australian standards. So I decided to do something that was of the best European standards and then add a little bit more class and style (putting my Architecture background) into it. Afterall, there isn't a whole lot of entertainment here in the deserts, water is a premium (hardly rains 2times a year here!) so when u don't have it often, you can really appreciate what beauty water can bring. And to have a lush green, well planted aquarium, or a living colourful reef in your living room in a country where everything is brown, dry and dusty.... well, that's something extra special. Oh, and let us also not forget that the region is booming! .... Oh and imagine if one day Kerry Packer came up to you and said, "Mate, I want you to make me the new 'King of the Aquarium Industry' in Australia. I'll back you 100% of the way, but u better make me some money! Imagine that.... Kinda the same thing here except it wasn't Kerry Packer here..
