Churaumi Aquarium - Largest Fish Tank In The World

Sea life is an amazing thing – but we don’t always get to see it in all of its glory and splendor. Those of you who are unable or are too afraid of diving in the water and visiting the sea yourself can do it in a much safe environment in Okinawa, Japan. There you will find the largest fish tank in the world.

The Churaumi Aquarium – which is also known as the “Kuroshio Sea” is 26 feet high by 73 feet wide and two feet thick. It has to be this thick in order to hold the pressure of all that water. Inside the tank you will see a variety of fish including four whale sharks.

Whale sharks are the largest fish. The water is pumped into the tank 300 feet offshore. It is something that everyone can enjoy and is a wonder to look at.
