Moscow oceanarium eyes professional Bashny.Net

In the wake of the scandal with autistic kids, who were not good enough for "the largest oceanarium in Moscow", he decided to share his impressions.
Not to be unfounded, I will tell a little about yourself.
My experience of aquarium specialist has 20-odd years, I have higher education in this field. The experience of building the biggest aquarium stores in Moscow and a bill of divorce and quarantine systems. The office, which has built the Oceanarium, has repeatedly called me to his work, from which I refused, not wanting to participate in the transformation of the aquarium in which they made it. And yes, this company is now working some of my former pupils, dismissed me as incompetent.
Now, we proceed to the aquarium itself, to which I went, not knowing who built it, hoping to see classwork specialists. But from the first minutes I heard the familiar curves hands.





So. Oceanarium in Moscow.
The first deception meets us in the official slogan "The first and the largest Oceanarium in Moscow»
First, in fact, is not the oceanarium and exotarium.
Oceanarium is the exposure of sea and ocean fish, mammals and invertebrates. In Moscow, "aquarium" is represented by marine and freshwater fauna, as well as some tropical land animals that do not have absolutely nothing to do with the ocean.
Why not call "Exotarium"? Because there exotarium more diverse, interesting and cheaper, in the Moscow zoo.
Much more diverse exhibition of marine fauna is represented in the "Marine Aquarium on Clean Ponds", although it also has a lot of complaints.
Secondly, it is the perception of the customer as a moron, the definition of "the first and greatest." Yes it's true. But it is also true to the definition of "the smallest, high-rise, is the foam, most synchronized with the cesium atomic clock, the most southern, the closest to the residence of the British Queen ... in Moscow».
Do you know why not Russia? Because Russia has, for example, is much more relevant to its name Murmansk Oceanarium, which is larger and ticket that costs 300 rubles. There Voronezh oceanarium area of ​​4, 5 thousand squares. Try it, find the area of ​​the Moscow bolshogo- 1200 squares. In St. Petersburg, too, 4, 5 thousand, by the way.



Next-More.
After paying an entrance fee amount equal to the cost of the ticket to the second-largest oceanarium, which area is measured acres, we find ourselves in a mysterious realm of ... your mother Joop! The freshly built "aquarium" thickly overgrown with weeds and the scenery begins to be covered with small scratches because of the shitty quality material acrylic glass.
90% of the exposition consists of a range of ... mediocre aquarium salon.
Malawi cichlids, which are already stuffed on edge, not only spices but also the "Dummies" from the aquarium took more than ten tanks! Astronotus, Arawana, rays motors, and very poor quality still occupy half the exposure. Good representative of these species can be seen, for example, on the basis of quarantine Yuri Frolov Solnechnogorsk, thence to Moscow rays eaten for breakfast, and asked for additions. Yes, the truth at Frolova they cost 70 000 rubles on average, and in the "aquarium" swimming overgrown, which bring in any aquarium store for free, because they do not fit in the tank. Moreover, because of the growth in small banks are crooked, slanting and pale.
The range of a few marine animals plunges into depression. Premature young blacktip reef sharks, which need to examine very closely with a magnifying glass to observe the family resemblance, a couple of nurses, clowns Boys oh boys, surgeons and triggerfish. The range of any aquarium store, free, remind entrance.
(Notice the transparency of the water.)



"A key element of the aquarium is undoubtedly the main tank with a transparent tunnel. It gives visitors the opportunity to be in the underwater kingdom and observe the life of the inhabitants of the aquarium from the inside, allowing everyone to have an unforgettable experience, previously available only to divers. »
Impressions truly unforgettable.
What is clear in the normal water tunnel aquarium? This acrylic tube with a diameter of about three meters from the floor.
What is a tunnel in the largest oceanarium in Moscow? The concrete wall to a height of about a meter from the floor, apparently, specially created for the convenience of small children. Above her, the height of the top of the extended hand, of the same halfpipe cheap acrylic, over which a thin layer of water that literally nedoakuly crawl on their bellies across the ceiling.



For the "fun" to shoot muddy, scratched green glass and "oceanic" pythons, is also necessary to pay about two hundred rubles. Bypassing this sad splendor, we find ourselves at the exit, where we were, finally, hit overgrown with stunted eel aquariums ... who would have thought, rare defective discus and rare neon, 50 cents are sold at the bird.
My verdict as in FIG specialist-this shit for 600 rubles. Kids lucky they did not get there.
All I finished, thank you for your attention.
