Exotic fish in Bangalore: where to see moray eels, gar and jellyfish

Fish worth looking for

• Moray eel: a long, patterned eel that hides in rock crevices with its mouth open.
• Alligator gar: a freshwater fish with a broad, toothy snout and armoured scales.
• Tarpon: a big silver fish that moves fast and catches the light.
• Sun catfish: a catfish with bold markings.
• Jellyfish: shown in a room with reflective walls.

We show a wide range of freshwater and marine fish. The current list is on our fish page. We don't publish a species count.

Best time to see them active

An expert diver feeds the fish every day at 6:30 PM. Larger fish come up close during the feeding, which is the best moment for a photo. The tunnel gives you a view from below, while the side tanks let you see eels and catfish at eye level.

Buying exotic fish as pets?

We don't sell fish. If you're setting up a home tank, Bangalore has many aquarium shops; ask them about species that suit your tank size and water type. Seeing grown fish at an aquarium first is a good way to understand how big some species get. The alligator gar, for example, is not a small-tank fish.
