ANEW Disney style display of clown fish opens this week at Loch Lomond Aquarium.

The brightly-coloured exhibition has been created in response to demand from fans of the cartoon fish Nemo.

The new exhibition features four tanks surrounded by a huge Nemostyle mural.

Curator Brendan Malone said: “We originally had 13 clown fish in our ocean tank but they were soadept at hiding among the corals and other theming that ironically, kids couldn’t find them.

“We moved them to their own display tank, but soon realised that the level of interest was such that a dedicated display area would be a big hit.”

The aquarium is also poised to unveil a new seahorse breeding and conservation unit.
