Underground fish aquarium in Bangalore: the underwater tunnel at Aquarium Paradise
Why it feels like you are underground
Inside the tunnel, water and fish surround the walkway, so it feels like you have gone below the surface. Around it are galleries of freshwater and marine fish, a jellyfish room with reflective walls and indoor man-made waterfalls. It is all indoors, which helps on hot or rainy days.
Fish you can spot
- Moray eel: usually tucked into a rock with only its head out.
- Alligator gar: long body, long jaws, easy to pick out.
- Tarpon: big, silver and fast.
- Sun catfish: a patterned favourite with kids.
The full list is on our fish page. For more on the tunnel itself, see fish tunnel in Bangalore and underground aquarium.
