Magical Experience: Visit Hyderabad's Underwater Tunnel Aqua exhibition this vacation

Hyderabad: Summer vacation begins, and so are the city exhibitions. With around 500 varieties of fish, mostly procured from Singapore and Malaysia apart from Kerala where large-scale breeding is done, the Underwater Tunnel Aqua Exhibition opened at Kukatpally in Hyderabad is a must-visit for the children this vacation.

The aquarium is a 180-degree walk followed by the main tunnel exhibit of colorful fishes.

Being the first tunnel aquarium in Hyderabad, it has garnered a lot of excitement from both children and adults alike since its inauguration on April 14.

With a vast diversity of uncommon fish species spotted, entering the tunnel is a magical experience.

Among the fish on display, the Arapaima kind is claimed to be unique. According to managers, this fish consumes one and a half kilograms of chicken each day. While this fish weighs 60 kg, its current market price is reported to be Rs. 6 lakhs.

Other species shown at the expo were Catfishes, Two types of Starfish, Angel fishes, Eels, Electric eels, Starfish, and Amazon fish. The shoals are another major attraction.
