The Aquarium with shark tanks of Leipzig Zoo

The Aquarium is one of the oldest buildings of Leipzig Zoo and houses many species that are grouped and presented in many basins, mimicking their original habitat. The second floor, accessible via a spiral staircase in the centre of the building, has a large aquarium along the wall of the circular room. This provides a panoramic view on the fish species and several shark species (brownbanded bamboo shark, Japanese wobbegong and blacktip reef shark).
