    It’s so wonderful to see a museum dedicated to freshwater fish. Where I live most of the museums are at the least mixed, if not full of saltwater exhibits. I think that the freshwater world can be as exciting if not more so than the marine world.

    Very relaxing music choice and narration.

    I agree skunk. People might be surprised by what beautiful animals live in freshwater. Especially fish like Pumpkinseeds that have bright blue and orange scales.

    Hmm, it’s a great movie, but its sad that it dosent show the big pikes they have in aqua. And some of the really huge eel’s to.

  • fishingwithrod said:

    Thanks. Yes, unfortunately the big pikes were hiding behind some branches, away from the glass, that day so we couldn’t really get a clear shot of them. Just another excuse to visit it again one day. :)

    I work at Aqua. :) I’m an animal keeper student, this video is quite old I think, but it’s fun to see it on youtube. :P
    Apart from all our fish, Aqua also houses lots of other animals such as birds, racoons (as seen in the video), beavers, minks, nutria and otters. :) I love working there. :D

  • FilholmMads said:

    AquaticLifeForm : You should realy try see them attack, and catch one on rod, they have a incribible way to attack the lure, and they are so brutal, i’ve got 3 im my aquarium, and on of them attack fish the same size of it selv, not to eat the fish, just to kill and show his rang.

  • ManicMindTrick said:

    I worked in a other Aquarium and in our “polluted lake” we never polluted the water as seen in nature. The poor visability is created by clay and is not in any way harmful for the fish and the water levels are always top in any Aquarium believe me.
