Aquarium of the Pacific: In 1995, Nigel became a junior ichthyologist at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Southern California. "I need something very quiet in my life - quieter than music. The first thing you learn is to point to signs." Nigel later was promoted to the big tank, where he fed lettuce to various fish. "There are more than five different kinds of fish - big, tiny and medium." He demonstrated some of his feeding techniques on a 2000 episode of VH1's "Where Are They Now?" "If you hold your hand up with five fingers it means, don't hurt me. The medium fish are the ones you have to worry about because they have a chip on their shoulder. The medium-sized fish will say, 'You come here' and then bite you on your bum, which is what happened to me." (VH1)
