Check out my thread from 2007 when I went to Seoul, Korea. Hands down some of the dumbest displays, and in a public aquarium no less, that I have ever seen.

The tanks were weird, the fish choices bad and the decor really not suited for fish. Not sure if they have changed anything or not. But sure they must have.
Also, some tanks had loads of sick fish.

Some examples:

Plain unusual and unfair on those poor fish :(

Now that I think about it the fish tank in the fridge could be good for lobsters if you're the type of person to enjoy a lobster dinner.

Some of the ugliest crap I ever laid eyes on. One thing that always annoyed me in the hobby was the myth that overseas keepers have special 'magic' when dealing with fish, either size, breeding, or care. A lot of it is a hot mess.

I think the biggest issue with the Seoul Aquarium Is the amount of people that have been influenced into thinking that this is the proper way to treat a fish. If a professional aquarium keeps clown loaches in a 5 gallon toilet “tank” surely I can do the same. Seems a bit irresponsible to me from an education standpoint.
