Fish are very delicate creatures and they can react in a very big manner in regard to even a small incident and there is no denying the fact that their life becomes very difficult when they have to live in an aquarium rather than the sea or ocean.
Nowadays, giant aquariums are being built where people can visit and watch some of the biggest fishes of the ocean but sometimes an unfortunate incident takes place because of humans.
An old video from 2013 which was shot at Okinawa Aquarium, Japan, shows a disturbing incident of a fish killing itself in reaction to the flash lights as people clicked photos with flash on.
In the video, it can be seen that a good number of people are surrounding the aquarium and taking photos with flash on. However when many people started taking photos with flash, it resulted in a Tuna fish getting disturbed; it started swimming at a very fast pace and clashed with the glass of the aquarium tank.
The aquarium tanks are made of highly reflective acrylic material which affects the vision of the fish in a negative manner and it doesn’t see the glass and feels that it is water everywhere.
The fish clashes against the glass and loses its life, this is why the majority of the aquariums don’t allow clicking photos with flashlights on.
Here is the video:
Next time you visit an aquarium, kindly remember not to take photos with flash on.
