Lionfish in the aquarium at World Museum Liverpool

Here's a photo that I took this morning of one of the lionfish in the Aquarium at World Museum Liverpool, for no other reason than I really like it. This little chap (or maybe lady - I'm not sure how you tell with fish) was swimming round quite quickly this morning, maybe inspired by all the activity upstairs in the LoveSport exhibition.

Update: (26/10/2006) you can now see a flickr slideshow with photos of this lionfish and a less active one lurking near the rock at the bottom of the aquarium
