1st mehr?
Neat, I always liked going to those.
That sounds great but this video is CGI
If it was CG, it would look way less cool.
CGI? I’ve been standing right there. It’s real. Thanks for the laugh though.
your an idiot…
this aquarium is as real as it gets…
try not to suck at life so much and people will stop telling you that your an idiot
great video
hello Noobs. Anyone know which DJ made this trance music?
Good one. I had to put the video on mute and play Imperials by Ratatat to really do this scene justice.
i thought it sounded like enrique, lol. Very calm and peaceful though
It’s Barcelona. It’s called “Please Don’t Go.”
Something is not real about the size of the people in front of it and the fish. The tuna are way too big compared to the people. Its like a tuna being 6′ long, when they are only 2′-3′.
I agree , this is obviously fake. First you can’t see any poo in the water! Yes fish does poo everyday. Can you imagine how big a whale poo is? Second reason. Stingray would have killed the guys in the pool. Don’t mess with stingray, they are serious business. Cool story is’nt ?
If you want to talk about size discrepancies, try the size of your “stingrays.” They obviously are not sting rays, which is still beside the point. There’s been one recorded death from a sting ray in history. Also, tuna can grow close to 6′, the reason the size of the humans seems off is because of distance, and the reason you can’t see any shit is that they most likely have created a complete ecosystem in the aquarium, including organisms that break down waste in order to keep the tank clean. In short, I did not think your story was cool.
prove me i’m wrong , unless you bring back Steve Erwin back too life. Till then its FAKE
are you fucking retarded
go look at tuna fish on google, those things get fucking redic big
You are all f’ing morons! Do you all live in a cave? This is a real place and the HD footage is amazing.
The song is “Please Don’t Go”, by Barcelona
you to are an idiot
a quick Google search proves your whole life is a waste of everyone’s time

Nah you’re just retarded.
Is that why they make me wear a helmet when I ride the short bus to school to keep me from licking the windows.
giant blue fin tuna can get over 1500 lbs

this is real you deebs.
Actually, some species of tuna can go up to 8′ (Yellowfin and bluefin tuna are good exemples). I don’t know enough about fishes to tell which kind of tuna are in those tanks, but it’s plausible they get to 6′.
Cool screen saver!
What song is this?
That’s the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan. When I was stationed there I used to go up there with friends on the weekends when we’d all agree on a ride up to Motobu.
they r manta rays they dont kill ppl stoopid :P… that was only steve erwin and that wuz a freak accedent
Better start capitalizing his name you punk
If you think this is fake, or CGI’d then your f**king stupid.
PS those big fish, ARE NOT TUNA, they’re Whale Sharks, morons…
Im sure he’s not talking about the BIG BIG fish, he means the smaller fat ones that look to be about 4 feet long.
and your right, this isn’t fake
Anyone else notice the scuba diver in the tank at the beginning of the video?
Yes, the scuba divers (which are actually shown throughout the whole clip) are the ones cleaning up all of the poop and stuff. That’s why it looks so damn clean. And yes, tuna do grow to be very large. One such bluefin tuna was sold in Japan for $250,000. Usually they don’t go for that much though. There are both manta rays and stingrays in the tank. Steve Irwin’s death was a freak accident and stingrays aren’t mean creatures that are out to kill people. I actually grabbed on to one and rode it for about 20 feet while I was snorkeling off the coast of Caye Caulker, Belize.
OK I GET IT! THERE ARE A LOT OF FISH IN THE LARGE AQUARIUM, CAN WE GET GOING PLEASE?!
this is a hoax people! it’s all made in a hollywood studio, it didn’t really happen! IT’S ALL STAGED!
Holy freaking crap!

wow. some people are just, well, retarded. please don’t breed. you know who i’m talking to…
i was at that aquarium last weekend. they had a big fireworks festival that night at the beach next to the aquarium. it actually does look just like that. it’s really cool, and i suggest anyone who may find themselves in okinawa to go see it.
I was there as well on 21 July 2009. I can’t believe people would call this fake. I guess some people are too scared to leave there house and experience the world. Every fish you see in the video is real. If you don’t believe it take a trip to Okinawa Japan and go to the Churaumi Aquarium or google it and see for yourself!
Impressive
This Aquarium is the best one I have ever been to. I have been there about 10 times and every time it gets beeter and changes so much. I love it there complete tranquility.
