Kinda reminds me of Megaman NT Warrior where the aquarium is full of robotic fish. Perhaps in the future we'll only see robotic animals in zoos.

That's cool. It's said that the small robotic fish even gather together like real schools of fish.

Thats actually really amazing.

wow...that's a really cool idea, it would make the experience a lot more realistic if they hired people to acually make the tuna look more life-like, same with the shark and sting rays

i would like to visit that place.

If you ever saw the making of the movie Deep Blue Sea, the robotic sharks were sort of like that except they had a lack of AI. Instead they were remotely controlled, but they sure did look realistic. Just need to cover these robots in the same type of skin the sharks of Deep Blue Sea had. Though I dunno if I would want to go swimming with something like this even if I knew it was just a robot:

I love that movie. It's so stupid yet so entertaining.
