An angelshark and a kindergarten
As the only aquarium in Denmark Jyllandsakvariet has an angelshark. Michael Madsen, the owner of the aquarium, says that the angelshark has been at the top of his wish list for many years. An angelshark is a shark species that at first glance seems unimpressive when lying on the bottom of its aquarium. It will dig itself down a bit in the sand and change the color so that is almost disappears into the sandy bottom. But when it comes to feeding, things happen. It cuts so incredibly fast that the eye can hardly perceive it - and this is what has long fascinated Michael Madsen and made the angel shark worth waiting 25 year for.
In some of Jyllandsakvariets smaller basins, you can put your hands down in the water and stroke various species of fish. Here you will also find the red shark. The red sharks lay many eggs, which the aquarium exhibits in its shark-hatching-clinic. The eggs hang in front of a plate with light so you can follow the development and stage of the shark fetus. When the eggs hatch, the little shark measures from 7-11 cm and is ready to go to the daycare basin, after which it will also go to kindergarten and later to school.
