About

Sunfish Consulting started as a family business in 2009 when husband and wife team, Mike & Heidi, returned to South Africa from Dubai where they had been a part of the team that managed the construction and start-up of the Dubai Aquarium.

The duo had already been in the aquarium industry for many years and gained experience in all aspects of aquariums including initial construction, commissioning, animal sourcing, standard operational procedures development, staff training, staff management, budgetary process and development, exhibit design and interpretation.

​

Since 2020

After many years of aquarium and life support design, we decided to focus on interpretation and concept design. We now work together with partners to design and build aquariums, zoos and museums so you can still come to us with your dream facility and we will help you make it a reality.
