The latest aquarium craze is for keeping rare deep water fish. These aquariums are the first on the market to provide the correct deep water pressures and cold temperatures. ?

This is completely untrue and I ask you to check today's date as to why I've posted this nonsense

Not very nice to look at, are they?
 
I am in the process of building a pressurized room in my house. It’s a modified cooler from a butcher shop. I won’t need the pressurized tanks, and cleaning and feeding can be done with less disruption to the fish. I plan on working primarily goblin sharks.
This will be right next to my sea turtle room.

My guess, they are using them for research. What happens when you catch a deep water fish and bring it to the surface? Would you have to put the fish in the container at depth?

Another question, what is the carbon footprint on catching deepwater fish so some rich guy can so it off in his living room?

Both excellent questions, IMO
 
Can't imagine how tricky doing just about anything would be. Feeding, water changes, even the slightest of adjustments, has to be a nightmare.

Those tanks look as if they're kept at a lab.

Had me guessing for awhile. It is the 2nd here
 
Deep see animals are hard to study in a lab because it is difficult to get them to adjust to a low pressure tank. So if you want to study deep water fish you either need to move your lab into a submarine and live there . Or you need to create a pressurized tank so that you could move the fish into your lab. Once in the lab you could gradually lower the pressure. If the fish survives that then you also need to maintain water oxygen salinity and light levels that it prefers.
