Capel Manor College Partners with FishScience to Enhance Aquatics Education
Capel Manor College’s Animal Management team has proudly partnered with FishScience, a leading brand in aquarium nutrition, to create a state-of-the-art aquatics section at our Enfield Campus. This exciting collaboration will provide students with hands-on learning opportunities, enriching our curriculum with valuable industry insights.
As part of this partnership FishScience has sponsored cutting-edge equipment and furnishings, ensuring our students have access to top-quality resources. Their expert guidance will directly influence our teaching, helping students develop essential skills in aquatic animal care and habitat management.
We have already created two stunning new water-based environments:
An Amazon tank, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the Amazon River
An Axolotl tank, providing a specialist environment for these fascinating amphibians
Building on this success we are now setting up a Central African river-themed tank, led by our expert lecturer Helena Bonici – alongisde her students. This immersive project will deepen their understanding of aquatic ecosystems and responsible habitat design.
FishScience is part of Peregrine Livefoods, a leading UK-based supplier of reptile and exotic pet products. Peregrine Livefoods acquired FishScience in 2022, expanding its expertise into the aquatics sector.
This partnership represents a fantastic step forward in providing our students with real-world industry experience, ensuring they graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in animal care careers.
Keep an eye out for updates on our new aquatic setups and the amazing work our students are doing!
