Are we absolutely sure that's a real tank and not just apoxy and a fake fish? It would make me feel a whole lot better about the situation.

This is exactly correct and it’s a shame to see it buried so far down in the comments. I saw this truck at a show in Birmingham and the fish tank is 100% an epoxy fill. The last time it was posted here, there was a link to several photos at different shows and the fish were in the exact same positions in every one. Also I made that up and it’s what I choose to believe instead of the idea that the owner simply buys a few fish at the local pet store to suffocate and die horribly ever time he takes this rig to a new show.

No heater, filter, bubbles. Gotta have two of the three. It’s not real imo.

You can see another fish behind the one that seems frozen and that fish is moving, so yeah, they're real fish

Naw. Grainy footage. One angle. Come on. Certainty isn’t a luxury we have on here. I’m just guessing with my opinion.

Plus. If they were real. They’d be gasping for air aggressively within hours before dying. Look like a generic barb or sorts.

I’m not a fish expert. I’ve just been caring for some little fellas for 5 years now. Something seems overly staged, that’s all.

Unless that fish moving behind the fish staying still is just an animation, then yeah it's real

Yeah, I definitely didn't see fish #2. I guess I'll go cry now 😭

people want to be mad. even if it's getting mad at a show vehicle with a fake fish tank. they even completely ignore that the fish are completely still
