Here the fishes are properly monitored by special computers, which regulate the water and thus contributing for their better survival.

The two famous specie in this water kingdom are the shark kings, Ralph and Norton whose presence are sensed with an intermixture of fear as well as excitement, even before they emerge from the murky darkness to greet the spectators.

In the tunnels of water there lies another batch of fishes like the whiskered catfish, slick looking eels, eerily glowing electric fish and the deadly red piranhas.
