Species Overview

Great White Shark

The great white shark is the world's largest predatory fish. Found in coastal surface waters of all major oceans, it can detect a single drop of blood in 100 liters of water. Despite its fearsome reputation, attacks on humans are rare.

Oscar

The oscar is a large, intelligent cichlid native to the Amazon basin. Known for its dog-like personality, it can recognize its owner and may beg for food. Oscars rearrange their tank decor and require spacious aquariums with robust filtration.
