    In the city of Kessennuma, Japan, an odd sort of Aquarium has sparked some attention. Probably due to the fact the entire display of fish are frozen solid.

    Perhaps they were looking to get more visitors to the Aquarium by making it so unique or perhaps some smart person deducted that they could save a fortune in fish food. Either way the result is a somewhat unique approach to displaying the local fish from Kessennuma waters.

    The Aquarium is an arrangement of 40 ice blocks displaying 450 specimens (80 varieties) of local marine life. The room temp of the Aquarium is kept at a cool -20 Celsius.

    Wow, that's one cool aquarium... But I would want to see a sunfish swimming instead of fixed in mid-motion...

    Uhm, have double feelings about this; it looks very nice but I hope they didn't use fish that were alive before they froze it.

    Imagine if you unfreeze them and they start to move again

    It wouldn't smell anything different if the fish is deep frozen before they turn stale... plus the "smell" is "locked" in the ice blocks... as long as the ice blocks are made from pure water...

    Meh...When I go to an aquarium, I want to see live animals. If I wanted the fish to be motionless, I might as well see them as pictures online o_O.

    I hope they won't do this to a zoo >_>.
