This aquarium has holes in the side of this saltwater exhibit where visitors can feed and even touch the fish.


Looks pretty awesome, I want to go there.

anybody got any more info? i don't understand how the water just doesn't come shooting out....

 

[chefjamesscott]

As long as the top of the tank is airtight, the water will stay in.

so basically it's a completely sealed box? seems like a liability. imagine a pinhole leak...

I don't see it being too good for the fish either. Everyone will be trying to get their attention and make them come to the handling holes, and then why would you want your fish handled anyway especially by an uncontrolled public. It's a neat science trick but its being used a foolish gimmick in my opinion...again I'd fill it with poisonous jellyfish.

Simple pressure and laws of physics. Try it with a water bottle
