Hi, recently i took a trip to viset Universeum in Gothenburg and here´s some pictures from the trip. You can read about Universeum at
Universeum mitt i Göteborg – ett nyttigt nöje med roliga aktiviteter för hela familjen
These birds live free inside the rainforest and you can come pretty close to them
A really big bromeliad
A group of Goeldismonkeys
(Callimico goeldii) lives and breeds inside the rainforest, really cute and they chatter all the time.
Ants that collects boulding materia from the rainforest, you can follow them around in these tubes. Impressive how much they can carry.
This is the Discus river, about 20 speices of southamerican fishspecies live here, discus, scalar, tetras, guppys and alot more, and a really cool bird who hunts the water edge and catches guppies and smaller fish that lives near the surface.
My favorite!
Another bird that lives free inside the Universeum rainforest
They also have a big monsterfish tank with Arrowanas, stingray and these really cool fishes. Some sort of sweetwater bass.
THey have terrariums setup around inside the rainforest, one with poisonarrow frogs. This was the only half decent pic a was able to take
(Phyllobates terriblis)
Once you walked through the rainforest you come up the the aquarium part, they have two big tanks with the biggest holding 1,4 miljon liters of water.
The Sharktank with Sandtiger shark, Blacktipped reef sharks and alot of other cool fishes.
This is the other big tank, a Swedish ecosystem with Cod and alot more.
A reef tank and girlfriend.
Camo stingray, it lives in a big open top tank so you can touch the stingrays when they circle around.
This was really cool to see, an Octopus...
Two speices of scorpion fish
Mangrove biotop.
When you leave the Aqurium you enter the part they call "Deadly Beauties" a collecting of poisonus animals from around the world, great natural terrarium setups and what might be my favorite part of Universeum.
I´ve taken pictures of most of the animals and there terrariums
Atheris squamigera
Dendroaspis angusticeps Green Mamba
Crotalus adamanteus Eastern diamondback rattlesnake
This one was huge!
Vipera ammodytes
I cant remember the name of this snake but i think it was a Turkish viper?
Heloderma suspectum Scorpion lizard
