Looks like the anchovies have problems too

Very nice. I'm a little slow on the uptake, as it took me about 3 sentences to realize it was a joke.

According to an acquarium employee, the predators in the tank seldom take a nip at the poor fat and sassy anchovies. I guess they're too well fed and lazy.

I don't think she was trying to eat the two soupfin sharks. According to the aquarium staff they were reflexive bites after being run into by the other sharks. The last time I was at the aquarium I witnessed those sharks almost running into her twice. She didn't bite those times, but she was definitely agitated.

I think what is of a bigger concern is that spot on her nose, which you can see clearly in the posted pictures. It looks like damage from running into the side of the tank.

Mel Fox and I (and two other board members) went to Aquarium after diving on Sunday and man has she grown! I saw her when she first got there and I actually said she was cute but this time my reaction was more like "Damn, she getting big" The coolest thing is when you see her just outside of the vis. Very ominous. She also has the Jaws pose down pat! She comes around the corner and heads straight up right in the middle of the tank! She's gone sorta Hollywood in that respect

The poster who said "she wasn't physically all that impressive" must be kidding! The Sardines were cool but not cooler than an apex predator thriving in captivity! I for one was blown away by her.
