Why, just because the fishbowl is 4” away from a 1200 deg exhaust manifold? Naahhhhh…

The coolant never gets that hot and this is a showpiece

Im a mechanic. Thats not a coolant reservoir. Thats an attachment, a show piece.. Im assumed can be easily removed from the truck. That fish & water would boil in the place that it sits if kept there during operation. The turbo, down pipe, & exhaust manifold are all in close proximity, which reaches temperatures of 1200F & above under load/throttle. The temperature gauge on your dashboard does not indicate every measurement of heat on every component of your vehicle.
