How do you replicate a natural environment for the marine life to thrive?
To keep it as close to nature as possible, we use natural seawater from the Arabian Gulf, which has been filtered and sterilized. The artifacts representing the Lost City Of Atlantis replicate the hiding places fish would use in the wild.

How do sharks co-exist with the smaller fish in the oceanarium?
We have sharks of varying sizes, across 11 species. In the Ambassador Lagoon and Shark Lagoon, they co-exist harmoniously with the smaller fish. The species of sharks that would pursue these reef fish are usually bottom dwellers like the zebra sharks or guitar sharks, and the fish are easily able to seek refuge if pursued, thanks to the relics representing the Lost City of Atlantis. As for the midwater dwellers, the small fish shoal up to confuse the shark and avoid predation. They’re also fed more often than they would in the wild, keeping them satisfied. Depending on the species of the shark, we either target-feed them by hand or scatter-feed them from the surface of the water.
