 It is not a shark but one of the biggest freshwater fish in the world - paddlefish. They eat only zooplankton so that big mouth is to catch it not to eat people! :)

That was the first time I went to Aquatis in Lausanne, it was opened last year and it has the largest freshwater aquarium in Europe. Overall very well made and interesting.

What an interesting looking fish. He would be great for keeping a swimming pool clean! Congrats on 4th.
