Fun Fish Trip on Taman Akuarium Air Tawar
Sad news that Ancol effectively sealed Sea World off from public access. The problem is that Sea World’s contract at Ancol began in 1992 and was supposed to end in June 2014. But the marine recreation company kept operating beyond that.
However we still have alternative destination to enjoy the fishes. Yes the famous Taman Akuarium Air Tawar. The aquarium park is inaugurated on 20 April 1994. Featuring more than 6000 animals of 126 species, are of various kinds, both of the various waters of Indonesia and around the world, including aquatic plants, reptiles, crustaceans, and fish.
This aquarium park has a museum, library, auditorium, aquarium archipelago, reptiles corner, hallway carp, and built quarantine room at the rear to accommodate the collection and breeding of the farmers who could be traded to the visitors, the general public, reservoir fish, and exporters.
Some special collections that come
from freshwater native Indonesia include Arowana / Siluk (Scleropages
formosus), shark saws (pristis Microdon), Tapah (wallago leerii),
chopsticks fish, puffer fish which can swell up like a balloon, and
others. in addition, there is also a collection of fascinating species
of fish living include Arapaima (Arapaima gigas), piranha (serrasaimus)
of the Amazon river in amertika, blind fish, butterfly fish, chinese
high fin fish (myxocyprinus asiaticus asiaticus) of the Yangtze
River-china, as well as groups of small fish guppy, molly, and platy.
The aquarium is home to the students and the general public to conduct the research and
observations related to the development of science and business
opportunities of ornamental fish.
The Aquarium is well maintained although it is not treated special anymore. You can see that it is well managed and the fishes are taken care. My favorite fish is electric eel. It is so big and It is capable of generating powerful electric shocks of up to 650 volts, which it uses for hunting, self-defense and communicating with fellow eels.
