Inside the Oceanarium are a number of smaller aquariums all centered around but the key element of the exhibit is an enormous central tank an impressive 1,000 m2 and 5,000 m3 tank with four massive 49 m2 acrylic windows on its sides which houses the most spectacular marine animals on display, including sharks, rays, schools of fish, eels and even a couple of bizarre-looking sunfish (mola mola)
