4 THE CORAL REEF
1 THE RAINFOREST
Follow the South American
river that is home to giant
catfish, cichlids and stingrays.
Then night falls and a thunderstorm suddenly breaks
out. As dawn breaks you
cross a bridge over the river
where the piranha lurk. As
you emerge from the rainforest you can see what lives
under the surface of the river.
In the nearby tanks you'll see
the vibrant warning colours
of poison arrow frogs.

frogs get their
poison from
eating

insects.
2 THE MANGROVE
Where the river meets the sea
you find the mangrove. This
brackish water is home to
fascinating species of fish like
the skilful archerfish. This
fish can shoot down insects
with great precision with its
built-in "water pistol." You'll
also meet the four-eyed fish,
which can see both below
and above the surface at the
same time.
3 THE OCEAN
Stop a while by our aquarium
and admire the ocean life.
Encounter corals, anemones,
sharks and a host of brilliantly
colourful fish. Discover the
moray eel guarding his cave
and watch the cownose rays
float towards you with their
wonderful smiles.
The reef is where you'll encounter
rich colours and amazing shapes
of the ocean. Both soft and hard
corals live together with many
colourful fish, sea cucumbers and
the beautiful Tridacna clam.

summer our outdoor café area is open, where you can sit so close to
the water that you nearly can dip your toes in it!

picnic room or in the outdoor café area. Why not also stop by
our shop and take home a souvenir from Aquaria.
We look forward to your visit!
5 SEWER ADVENTURE
Did you know
that bamboo
sharks don't use
their teeth when
they eat. They use
suction to suck
up their prey.
Climb down into the sewer
and learn about the impact that
humans are having on our waters
and animal life. Experience the
eutrophicated water caused by
over-fertilising farmland and the
sterile environment caused by
acidification of the earth's waters.

Starfish can
push out their
stomachs over
dead animals
and suck
them up!
6 THE NORDIC EXHIBIT
7
Step straight from tropical heat
into a cooler landscape with a
mountain lake and a rushing
stream. You are now in the Nordic
exhibit. The mountain lake is
home to a shoal of char, while
trout from the Baltic Sea make
their way up the fish ladder to
spawn in our stream.
7 THE FISH LADDER AND
THE BALTIC SEA Every hour,
100,000 litres of water are pumped
into Aquaria from Nybroviken just
outside. The water flows under the
bridge out to the salmon ladder
on the terrace. In late autumn,
full-grown trout come in from the
Baltic Sea, jumping up the ladder
and into Aquaria to spawn. The
largest trout to jump up the ladder
weighed over 11 kilos!
