Inside Abu Dhabi's National Aquarium: fish tanks, neon lights, and quirky displays

A video shows an aquarium with various fish swimming. The aquarium has a rocky, textured background with some green plant-like elements. A large, curved, light-colored object, possibly a piece of artificial coral or decor, is visible in the center of the tank. A sign with a no-flash photography symbol is on the glass. The view is from a dark interior, suggesting the viewer is inside a building, looking through a window or a shaped opening into the aquarium. The lighting is dim outside the aquarium, but the aquarium itself is illuminated, showcasing the fish and the environment within.

This image was taken at the National Aquarium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The scene is dark, illuminated by colorful neon lights and the headlights of a vintage Volkswagen Beetle. The Beetle has been converted into an aquarium, with fish swimming inside the windshield area. In the foreground, the front of the black Volkswagen Beetle is visible, its headlights on and casting a bright light. A logo for the "National Aquarium" is on the front bumper. To the left of the car, a person wearing a pink shirt and blue shorts stands looking at a display. To the right of the car, a person wearing a Levi's sweatshirt stands near the aquarium. The background of the aquarium features a black ceiling grid with various neon-colored, three-dimensional objects hanging down, resembling viruses or microscopic organisms. These include red spiked spheres, green spherical objects, and red rod-like shapes. There are also glowing displays and tanks with aquatic life, including a large circular display with red lights and what appear to be glowing jellyfish. A wall in the background is decorated with a mural of small, colorful dots on a black background, with some larger, glowing shapes. Arabic text is visible on a sign in the upper right quadrant of the image.

The video shows a close-up view of a crowded aquarium. Numerous fish of various sizes and colors swim amongst large, rock-like decorations. The fish appear to be cichlids, characterized by their flattened bodies and distinct fin shapes. Some of the fish are predominantly silver, while others display hues of orange, pink, and blue. The water is clear, allowing for a detailed view of the aquatic life and the aquarium's interior. Light streams down from above, illuminating the scene and casting subtle shadows. Bubbles can be seen rising from the bottom of the tank, suggesting the presence of an aeration system. The overall environment appears to be a well-maintained aquarium, teeming with active fish.
