World's Biggest Goldfish Aquarium - Art Aquarium Tokyo

Is this the future of Japanese art? Designed by visionary artist Hidetomo Kimura, the Art Aquarium in Nihonbashi, Tokyo is his latest project aimed at celebrating the beauty of Goldfish. Goldfish, or Kingyo in Japanese, have been popular in Japan for hundreds of years and are intrinsically woven into the culture. If you're looking for a good way to enjoy contemporary art mixed with the grace and animation of nature, there's certainly no better way to do so.

    so unethical. don't go there, the tanks are so small and even rounded (which is bad for fishes). the fishes are also sensitive to light and generally have almost no plants of rocks in the tanks.

    I'm sure their filtration is top notch. Koi and Goldies are really dirty. But if you have good way to manage all that poop, then it should be fine.
