Aquarist Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently came across the Aquarist role at [Company Name] and wanted to reach out. In my last position I helped keep a diverse collection of marine life healthy by implementing daily health checks and a clean, stable enclosure regime. On a typical week I managed feeds, monitoring water quality, and ensuring systems ran without interruption for a 6,000 litre exhibit. The work gave me a clear sense of how precise routines translate into animal well being and visitor safety. I’m comfortable with animal care, enclosure maintenance, and safety inspections. I can read behaviour cues, document concerns, and coordinate with the veterinary team on medications and treatments under direction. I’ve also supported guest education programs and led short talks about conservation to small groups, keeping information accurate and accessible for visitors with varying knowledge. One moment that stands out was when a coral-dwelling fish showed signs of stress after routine tank maintenance. I adjusted feeding schedules, increased monitoring, and worked with the maintenance crew to pinpoint a subtle water chemistry shift. Over two weeks the group settled, and I could report a clear improvement in activity levels and feeding response, which helped the team plan future interventions more smoothly. I’m keen to discuss how my hands-on approach and practical knowledge could support [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat this week or next and can provide references from [Previous Company] if helpful. Kind regards, [Your Name]
