Fish exhibition in Bangalore, open every day
Permanent aquarium vs seasonal fish shows
Bangalore also gets occasional pet and aquarium-hobby shows, where breeders and shops display fish for sale. Dates and venues change each time, and they come and go within days. A permanent aquarium is easier to plan around: fixed hours, fixed prices, and the same tanks whenever you visit. Use seasonal shows for buying fish; use the aquarium to see big marine species you will not find in a shop tank.
What is on display at Aquarium Paradise
- Marine and freshwater fish: a wide range, including the moray eel, alligator gar, tarpon and sun catfish. Check the fish list.
- Underwater tunnel: what the aquarium calls India's longest. You walk through it with fish around you.
- Jellyfish room: lined with reflective walls.
- Educational displays and interactive zones: short, readable information next to the tanks.
