Parthenon renovation underway:$12 project will seal gapin upper level of famed monument

Parthenon, the aquarium’s most famous monument, is undergoing a $12 renovation project that will seal a gap that has allowed fish to hide in the building’s inner structure.

Our clown loaches, owned by Eric Jones and Matt Brummett, became famous for living inside the structure. The fish are now trying to find refuge elsewhere, but hiding spots in our aquarium are few and far between.

“I’m glad they are finally patching the hole in that thing,” said Brummett. “I was always worried that my fish was going to get trapped in there and die. He may be freaking out about this right now, but later he’ll thank us for this.”

The monument will remain closed through the weekend and is expected to reopen on Monday.
