Shark aquarium in Bangalore: what you'll actually see at Aquarium Paradise
Why people search for sharks here
Older listings and some blogs mention sharks and turtles at our aquarium. Those details aren't on our official species list, so we've removed them. The fish page lists what's actually in the tanks.
The big fish you can see
- Alligator gar: a long fish with a snout full of teeth that looks prehistoric.
- Tarpon: large, silver and fast, often seen passing over the tunnel.
- Moray eel: hides in rocks and pokes its head out with its mouth open.
- Sun catfish: a patterned catfish that kids like to spot.
Watch them at the diver's fish-feeding every day at 6:30 PM, when they're most active.
Other things inside
- A jellyfish room with reflective walls
