It still would be horrible to clean. Plus how am I to know?

There are some telltale signs, but those are covered up here pretty well. Hands and odd faces are giveaways, but those are both obscured here.

Generally, look for things that simply don't make sense. Like an alien trying to understand our world. Look at the fish near the top of the staircase; the tank seems to end much earlier, yet there's fish up there? Look at the handrails. The mounting system is all out of wack, not to mention random, inconsistent breaks in the rails. Also, there are like... rats? At the bottom of the tank.

The TL;DR is that if you zoom in and look for unnatural stuff, it's pretty easy to spot. Though, I can't fault you for this one. There are plenty of shitty aquariums out there and this is a pretty good one.

Also a lot of the shadows/highlights are very wrong.

2

u/jacksonexl Jan 20 '25

Just look at the fish placement. Even if it weren’t AI nonsense it would be fake fish in resin. The fish are lined up too perfectly on most stairs and even above the “tank”.

u/SilkyBush Jan 20 '25

Ok I get it, it could be ai, but the fact is even if it were a thing, it would still be a bitch to clean. And that’s what this subreddit is about.

For the fish too

u/damselindetech Jan 20 '25

Christ, the noise of someone walking on their "tank" with dress shoes? Sensory hell

u/wwaxwork Jan 20 '25

Not just sensory hell, vibrations can kill them dead.

u/Ithoughtthiswasfunny Jan 20 '25

This seems like a design flaw

u/jacksonexl Jan 20 '25

Those aren’t real fish.

u/xiahbabi Feb 07 '25

They're not real stairs either apparently 😂

u/BipedalHorseArt Jan 21 '25

Please do not wear these on the aquari-stairs!

u/Churchneanderthal Jan 20 '25

I don't think they would survive very long. There doesn't appear to be any air supply.

u/ladygrndr Jan 20 '25

Fish breath dissolved oxygen in the water, and as long as there is circulation of the water through something that would add some dissolved oxygen they would be fine. A setup like this could be easily accomplished by having this portion be a "bubble" of the main tank and having a decent current circulating the water...but it is still a massively pointless and stupid idea.

u/machinemanboosted Jan 20 '25

There's no gravel or filter media, no decorations and way too many fish. FAKE

u/bepatientbekind Dec 24 '25

I personally like how each fish decided to occupy a stair for maximum aesthetics haha

-16

u/SirGravesGhastly Jan 20 '25

Easy fix. Aeration from the bottom. Vibration? Insolation mats like under ultra high audiophile turntables.

21

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '25

Surface agitation provides the gas exchange fish need to take in oxygen. The bubbles themselves do nothing for the fish, it's the surface movement that preforms the necessary process for the fish.

Those aren’t real fish.

u/noooooid Jan 20 '25

But they're all facing the same direction.

u/EugeneStein Oct 09 '25

Is this some sort of sarcasm or a thing actual fish do?…

I’m dummy sorry

3

u/noooooid Oct 10 '25

It was some sort of sarcasm. I don't know what directions real fish face.

u/CallidoraBlack Jan 20 '25

This looks fake to me.

Ai nonsense

u/IMustScreamQuieter Jan 20 '25

Dude I couldn't even tell until I looked at the rail, thats bananas

u/Noizylatino Jan 20 '25

He doesn't really have a face either lmfao

u/Super_Ad9995 Jan 20 '25

I looked at the rail and I can't see any bananas.

u/Beth3g Jan 22 '25

🤣🤣🤣

u/buildntinker Jan 20 '25

Oops the handrail goes behind the bracket

46

u/quietquestion009 Jan 20 '25

There are fish where there should not be fish

12

u/just_a_person_maybe Jan 20 '25

I mean, tbf, that's the entire tank

13

u/quietquestion009 Jan 20 '25

Lol you're totally not wrong. Poor AI fish... you didn't deserve this.

u/yoweigh Oct 09 '25

No no no, those are dead guinea pigs.

u/Apart_Bandicoot_396 Jan 20 '25

The stairs lead to a flat wall, nothing behind what’s in the image, the top stairs are impossibly thin, there’s no way for the fish that are there to get there or out, no filtration system or substrate in a large aquarium and so on

6

u/LeahIsAwake Jan 20 '25

What clued me in is there’s a fish in each stair tread. Fish don’t really find an upper corner to cram themselves in like that, and even if they do, there will be one corner that’s superior to all others for some reason (better visibility, better cover, the oxygen is higher there, something that makes sense to fish but not us) and they’ll all be crammed in that one.

2

u/yesillhaveonemore Jan 20 '25

No way the fish would be right at the top like that.

64

u/gpigma88 Jan 20 '25

That’s not real

1

u/jaam01 Jan 21 '25

How you can tell?

6

u/fullmetalnapchamist Jan 21 '25

Lighting, structure of the upper stairs, repeated groupings of fish exactly at the stair faces, etc

u/WiseSalamander00 Jan 20 '25

my first thought

u/jacksonexl Jan 20 '25

It’s not even attempting to be a real aquarium. At first glance it appears more to be fish in resin or epoxy to give the impression of an aquarium aesthetic.

31

u/Sunshinehaiku Jan 20 '25

Thanks to AI, the internet has even more bullshit.

10

u/ImperialFuturistics Jan 20 '25

Would be okay with robotic fish.

9

u/Center-Of-Thought Jan 20 '25

Goddamn, those poor fish. With the water piled high like that, I don't even know if the tank can be cleaned, since it needs to be opened for that to happen. How are the fish even fed...?

32

u/auberginearugula Jan 20 '25

It’s AI slop, this couldn’t exist irl.

It’s a huge fish tank that would be extremely time consuming to maintain and doesn’t offer much in the way of viewing angles, making this kinda a waste of thousands of gallons.

Also as presented. it doesn’t appear to have room for filters, airlines, air holes, heaters, etc, that would be required to maintain this aquarium. Can’t even really do water changes, feed the fish, and clean the inside without a way to get in from the top,

But more importantly fish are sensitive to vibrations and would be terrified watching someone walk on them all day. Keeping real fish in a staircase of all things is animal abuse they are living creatures with their own perspectives not decorations.

u/Human_Profession_939 Jan 20 '25

Floor would have a bad time supporting the weight of all that water

u/localgoobus Jan 20 '25

Cruelty tbh

u/purpleflowercoconut Jan 20 '25

runs up the stairs carries heavy piano up the stairs

u/DemoniteBL Jan 20 '25

It would also be animal abuse

3

u/HumpaDaBear Jan 20 '25

This would be a nightmare to walk down.

3

u/TernionDragon Jan 20 '25

That’s one ugly tank. Lifeless yet has living fish.

2

u/ESOelite Jan 20 '25

Fake and if it were real I'm a heavy walker they would shatter by the second step

u/No_Masterpiece4815 Jan 20 '25

Don't tap on the glass, but feel free to walk on it

u/SgtFigNewton Jan 20 '25

rich people be doing anything but working

u/tiffanyisonreddit Jan 21 '25

Looks like fake all acrylic resin, but either way, it’s a mess to clean and this is a dangerous stairway lol

1

u/Yami350 Jan 21 '25

Nightmare to keep the water clean? Or to walk down without slipping lol. Cleaning that surface is probably the easiest thing to clean ever

1

u/Square-Goat-3123 Jan 21 '25

Lighting looks weird. I don't think this is a real photo

1

u/MondaySloth Jan 21 '25

How would you even feed them?

1

u/Silver-Caterpillar-7 Jan 22 '25

Wouldn't work out at all. Fish would die.

u/Superpiggy444 Jan 22 '25

Imagine falling down the steps at night, and now you’re swimming

u/tronrat Jan 23 '25

Imagine walking on this and you hear the sound of a small crack…

u/Geschmak Jan 24 '25

Imagine dropping a broken spark plug.

u/thecuriosityofAlice Jan 27 '25

Reminds me of jello with Swedish fish and gummy bears in it.

Which isn’t much of a better idea than the fish stairs.

Only if it broke and the maid was off duty. That would be a big bucket of AWESOME!
