The aquarium houses fishes, amphibians, reptiles and insects of local freshwater and saltwater in 19 aquariums and terrariums. The aquarium offers an insight into the hidden underwater world of the river Hunte which flows through Oldenburg. It shows animals from freshwater and saltwater because the water of the Hunte changes on its way from the edge of the Central German Uplands to the North Sea Coast. The presentation of living local freshwater fishes is rare and thus notable.
Type(s) of objects: books, manuscripts, maps, photographs, periodicals • No. of objects (of each type): ca. 1000, 30, 200, 5.000, 400
