Cute penguin!! Have a question though-My family was there today and we saw a fish that we hadn’t noticed before. We saw it while going through the shark tunnel. It was aprox a foot 1/2 long, shiny gold scales, white belly -with a black spot on its tail. Would love to know what type of fish it is. Thanks!!
The fish you have asked about is the Red Drum.
