A local aquarium at Pingtung’s Agricultural Biotechnology Park has been thriving after opening to the public a few years ago. It was originally designed as an aquatic exhibition hall for businesses hoping to enter the global market, but now the public can visit and see the large variety of marine and freshwater fish and shrimp on display in 61 tanks. The single-floor aquarium has become popular among tourists and families on weekends and holidays.

Elegant red discus fish show off their vibrant coloring as they swim through light and dark areas of the tank. At this local aquarium at the Agricultural Biotechnology Park in Pingtung’s Changzhi Township, many kinds of colorful fish and shrimp are on display.

Visitor
I saw it online and thought it looked like a good indoor space to come and watch fish. There are lots of fish and shrimp here.

Along with colorful fish, a variety of shrimp like these red and white striped tiger shrimp compete for visitors’ attention. The park was completed in 2013, and the aquarium was originally built for aquatic businesses to display their ornamental fish and shrimp. With 61 tanks, the area opened to public visitors a few years ago.

Originally it was designed for those in the ornamental fish business in the park, and of course we welcomed some special guests and foreign visitors. We felt that the surrounding residents would also want to visit, so we went along with the idea and opened it to the public.

Brightly colored African cichlids like these were introduced to breeding farms in central and southern Taiwan over 20 years ago. Over the past decade, they have secured a place in Taiwan’s international ornamental fish market and are popular in this aquarium.

Aquarium specialist
African cichlids are our No. 1 exported ornamental fish. As for tilapia, after African cichlids were introduced, Taiwanese people bred and improved them. The more brightly colored varieties of African cichlids like these can be kept in aquariums for everyone to enjoy.

The aquarium provides a space for businesses to display their fish and shrimp, working in tandem domestic and international marketing events. Now that it’s open to the public, anyone can come to observe and learn about these beautiful sea creatures.
