I visited the Cologne Zoo last week.
There were some nice animals and enclosures.
I took loads of pictures and a few short videos and thought that I could share them with you.
First at the aquarium:
Stenopterygius:
(Here's some info about this saurier.)

The big tank at the entrance with huge Oscars and big South American tetras:
A beautiful enclosure for Axolotl's:
Big Bubble Anemone:
Young Cat Shark:
Jellyfish:
A nice mixed tank with a pair of Blue Girdled Angelfishes (Pomacanthus navarchus) and Sweetlips:
And the P. navarchus at speed:
Splendid Garden Eel (Gorgasia preclara):
A huge saltwater aquarium:
There was a pair of Emperor Angelfishes (Pomacanthus imperator) in the tank, but the second one was a bit shy.
Pomacanthus imperator and Yellow Tangs (Zebrasoma flavescens):
Pair of Blue-cheeked Butterflyfishes (Chaetodon semilarvatus):
Bignose Unicornfish (Naso vlamingii) and Bluespine Unicornfish (Naso unicornis):
And a short video of this tank:
