Fish world in Bangalore: an aquarium day out for kids
Fish kids love to spot
- Sun catfish: spotted and easy to find, usually the first one kids point at.
- Moray eel: peeks out of the rocks with its mouth opening and closing.
- Alligator gar: its long snout looks like a crocodile's.
- Tarpon: big and silver, flashing as it swims.
- Jellyfish: glowing in a room with reflective walls.
Before you go, show your kids the fish page and turn it into a spotting game.
