Inside the fish tunnel
The tunnel runs through tanks holding freshwater and marine fish. Look for these:
- Moray eel: long body, often tucked into rock gaps with its head out
- Alligator gar: a freshwater fish with a long, toothy snout
- Tarpon: large silver fish with big scales
- Sun catfish: a bottom-dweller with a flat head
Past the tunnel are the jellyfish room, indoor waterfalls and an ocean-view seating lounge. Every day at 6:30 PM an expert diver feeds the fish.
