Yeah, I take a lot of aquaria photos so I definitely know the pains of lighting. Great shot though


Also, what aquarium was this at? I didn't even know it was possible to keep these guys in captivity

Thank you very much I took this at Aqua Terra Zoo in Vienna, Austria. It's an aquarium that also has lots of reptiles and amphibians, even a couple birds and a small group of monkeys. Yes, nautilus can be kept in aquaria - they're actually quite simple to keep (much like jellyfish). I love watching jellyfish and nautilus.


I don't know many aquaria in the States but I've been to Stephen Birch Aquarium in San Diego (where I didn't see any nautilus) and to Monterey Bay Aquarium (where they do have a nautilus tank).

There are some nautili (plural) in the National Zoo in DC.

That's really great, I never knew they could be kept in tanks. They're absolutely beautiful animals, I'd love to see them some day. I've been wanting to see the Monterey Bay Aquarium too. I've been to quite a few aquariums in Florida (we have a lot of them here where I live) and the Georgia Aquarium, but that's about itΒ

Was this at an aquarium, or while diving?

aquarium. I'm guessing underwater (while actually diving) the lighting would be even worse and getting close like this might be impossible. just so you know, at low light it's really hard to get them close-up in focus because they constantly move ever so slightly. this nautilus was really close to the tank glass so I was lucky and had a couple minutes for shooting before it swam away (lots of pictures out of focus, only two nicely in focus)
