‘Lonely’ Sunfish Comforted by Cardboard Cutouts of People After Aquarium Closes Due to Renovations

An aquarium in Japan is getting creative when it comes to cheering up its fish! The Kaikyokan Aquarium in Shimonoseki, Japan, which is closed as it undergoes renovations, revealed in a post on X that its staff had to think out of the box to help one of its sunfish struggling with the change. “[The sunfish] was feeling a little unwell right after the closure,” the aquarium further noted in a translated post on X.
