In the Canary Island's largest aquarium, more than 264,000 gallons (1 million liter) of water are divided... onto the the Aquarium's 22 tanks, which are inhabited by hundreds of different sea animals, among which are local Canarian species such as tiger fish, gilthead or bandtail chromis. But also more tropical species in shiny colors, ranging from clownfish, firedrakes and blowfish to hermit crabs can be found here.
The different sharks in the underwater tunnel and the aquarium's main tank, filled with up to 105,000 gallons (400,000 l) of water, are the biggest attraction. The three petting pools, which cater to adults and children alike, allow visitors to pet animals such as sea cucumbers and starfish and thereby make it possible to become more familiar with such exotic animals. A special note for environmentally conscious folks: The last tank displays some of the garbage which was collected on the coasts of Lanzarote. A great tip: Diving and snorkeling classes!
