Greater Cleveland Aquarium

🐟 Fun Fact Friday!

Frontosa may look like loners, but in the wild they’re anything but! These striking fish can gather in massive schools of up to 1,000 individuals in Africa’s Lake Tanganyika. That’s a lot of blue stripes in one place! 💙

Another cool fact? Frontosa are mouthbrooders, meaning parents carry their young in their mouths to help keep them safe until they’re big enough to venture out on their own.

Day with my boys. First stop the Greater Cleveland Aquarium!

Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know red-footed tortoises play an important role in keeping tropical forests healthy? As they munch on fruits, they help spread seeds throughout their habitat, giving new plants a chance to grow. In fact, they’re especially important for dispersing seeds from tropical plants like figs and bromeliads. 🌱🍎
