Marine fish aquarium in Bangalore: moray eels, tarpon and more
Marine and freshwater fish to look for
- Moray eel (marine): a long, muscular fish that hides in rock gaps with its mouth opening and closing. That is how it breathes, not a threat.
- Tarpon: a big silver fish with large scales. Watch how the light catches it in the tunnel.
- Alligator gar (freshwater): long, with a snout full of teeth. A good contrast with the sea fish.
- Sun catfish (freshwater): a patterned catfish that stays near the bottom.
The full current list is on our fish page. Educational displays along the route name what is in each tank.
The underwater tunnel
The highlight for most visitors is India's longest underwater tunnel. You walk through with fish passing above and beside you, which shows how marine fish actually move in open water. After the tunnel, the jellyfish room uses reflective walls to show off a group of jellyfish, which are marine animals, though not fish.
Feeding time
An expert diver feeds the fish every day at 6:30 PM. It is the best time to see fish that usually hide, like the moray eel, come out.

For home aquarium hobbyists
We are a public aquarium, not a fish shop, so fish are not for sale. Still, seeing marine species in large tanks gives you a sense of their adult size and behaviour before you plan a home setup. Phone photos are fine for reference. Professional cameras need prior permission.
