Monsterfish at Gothenburgs zoo, 'Universeum"

All of these fish were amazing in size and I had a great day walking around. Lots of native fish from the waters of scandinavia

especially the catfish was huuge

Nice pics! Im hoping to get up to götet soon, I haven´t been to universeeum yet, but it looks like a must visit.

Yea I loved it. Watching cool native fish almost makes the "standard" amazon fish seem dull ^^ Problem is all these live in cold water

I could only spot one on the wels, but it was called "cat fish corner" so theres probably more hiding.. in the corners?

The fish on the second photo is by far no piranha but an arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), a species which is common in many cold scandinavian lakes.
