Firstly we went to the aquarium spent hours their watching fish we so would be animating so we could get an idea behind their personality and how they effect or are effect by things that are in their habitat, for example the sharks and other predatory animals that where in the tank with them.
One of the things we got too see was a feeding time at one of the tanks which completely changed the atmosphere and how the fish responded to one another.
Also on our visits to the aquarium we took pictures of the fish and recordings so it was data specific to that tank.
Secondly we asked staff what their feeding habits where too see what the people who have looked after then and see them on a daily basis say about them and see if we can learn anything new that might only be able to see at certain times or experiences they only have.
Thirdly we looked at boards near the fish tank these didn't really tell you allot about the animals but would give you basic info, what they where called their Latin name, and an image . This really helped us when it came to selecting fish because we just took pictures of the board as it changed so we knew what fish where around in the tank so what we could use.
Lastly we used the internet, you tube, other sites which have information of clips of fish swimming or pictures we could use as reference. The benefit we got form looking at clips of the fish swimming was we didn't have to the aquarium see how the swim , or react and then come back to college to change things or make something accordingly. this was a great benefit to me and tom for this project.
