The Aquarium Berlin in Berlin is one of Germany's largest aquariums. The aquarium was built in 1913 as part of the Berlin Zoological Garden complex.^[1] Since its opening the Zoo-Aquarium has been ranked among the public aquariums with the world’s greatest biodiversity. On either a separate or joint ticket it can be visited with the zoo.

Exhibits

Over 9,000 animals are presented on three storeys.^[2] It contains jellyfish, tropical and native fishes, crocodilians (caimans and gharial), and a broad variety of insects. In addition to its 250 tanks for fish,^[1] the aquarium houses a wide variety of amphibians and reptiles including tuataras.^[2]

The shark tank presents the blacktip reef shark and other species.^[2]
