Fortunately for the fishies, this is the Marlins, not the Yankees: there will be only limited fan noise.

This is what causes fish in tanks to simultaneously scatter when you tap the glass. In open water, a fish can go elsewhere to escape disturbances, but in a tank, there’s nowhere to go. Crowd noises and blaring sound systems will be what disturbs the fish, not the random baseball hitting the tank.

PETA was pissed. I think the stingrays died. Of course, we’re talking techno. It could be they committed suicide.

These same club owners were just arrested last week for drug trafficking, money laundering, and terror support (Islamic Jihad, I believe). So, really, if there is an oversized, ill conceived fish tank on the property, chances are the business practices are pretty fishy as well.

Yes. I just wrote that.

I had a 3 Lb Oscar named Bubba who made sure of it. Although a Pleco named spike did survive and grew to about a foot long in there.

In this case, a fish is either living in a tank or in the wild, and it’s certainly the case that predators are going to be substantially more common in the wild than in the tank.

Of course, the propensity for predation isn’t the only difference between the environments, and therein lies the flaw in the argument. Still, in my mind, predation is a pretty big deal.

Also, I wish I could have been there for the testing of the glass. I assume it meant firing baseballs at high velocity at fishtanks, and that could only have been fun.

Chances of reproducing in a fish tank 0%. Not getting eaten by a shark doesn’t matter if you die with making copies of yourself. Even without sharks in the tank, the life span of those fish will still be considerably shorter than those of fish on a reef. Fish find vibrations to be stressful…not to mention being in a tiny tank like that is like being in a straight jacket for most salt water fish….I imagine they will be regularly introducing new fish to that tank on a regular basis.

Those outboards, big diesels the liners and tankers use, and not to mention sea-doos buzzing around, are not exactly quiet. The occasional baseball will be as nothing compared to that racket. Anyways, if Tiffany were a fish she’d be safe: Aquaman would protect her.
