Japanese Christmas tree made of 50,000 sardines

According to the MainichiDailyNews, this “Super Sardine Illusion” is supposed to look like a Christmas tree. That is, a big blue blob Christmas tree made of fish, ri-i-i-ght.

The MainichiDaily went on to say the “tree” is composed of 50,000 sardines in a feeding frenzy for fish food in Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Yokohama as part of their “Christmas Super Iwashi (sardines) Illusion” show going on until Christmas Day.

The Hakkeijima Sea Paradise aquarium website says that this is the, “Christmas lust of fish underwater” and that the, “fish flock in a brilliance of performance.”
