Fish

Where do we start?! It’s not surprising to learn that at St Andrews Aquarium we have literally hundreds of fish!

From the exotic to the unusual, you will experience the full spectrum of aquatic inhabitants when you visit the Aquarium. There’s too many to go into online, however our favourites are:

Stingrays which use their venomous spine to protect themselves from predators.

Piranhas who group together to attack larger animals.

The Octopus who can move at great speed when the situation demands.

Pufferfish who inflate their body to scare away predators.

The Lionfish whose spines contain poisonous venom.

And not to forget the Stonefish, the most deadly fish in the world.

New for 2012! We've just welcomed our Mudskippers to the Aquarium with a brand new display - fish that can survive on land and in water.
