The three floors have a variety
on display of both edible and ornamental fish. The ground floor houses the
office and laboratory. There is also a little outlet for fish feed. The
first floor has 14 big tanks where the larger cultivable varieties of fish
are displayed, done so to acquaint visitors of our resource potential for
fish culture. The second floor has two rows of tanks ----the upper row has
23 medium sized tanks while the lower row consists of 46 small tanks. The
tanks here are used to display purely ornamental fish and it’s wonderful
to see the multi-hued fish swimming along lazily without having a thing to
do in the world. Interestingly, the aquarium has tried to create a habitat
similar to what the fish are used to.

cultivable as well as ornamental pet fish. Located on Kasturba Road, the
aquarium is housed in a diamond shaped building that was opened in 1983.
The aquarium comes under the State Government's Department of Fisheries.
Every time you see those brilliantly coloured fish on either Discovery or
National Geographic channels, don't you wish you could get close to them?
You may not get to see such an amazing variety of fish, but still a visit
to the aquarium is a pleasant experience. The aquarium is home to purely
freshwater fish, which are both indigenous and exotic.
