📢 Let's Talk About AI and Fish Photos 🐠

Lately, we've noticed many aquariums and websites using AI-generated photos to showcase their fish. While these images might look stunning, they often create unrealistic expectations of what your fish will look like. It's not just misleading—it's manipulative.

These AI photos are designed to grab attention, but they don’t represent real fish. Unfortunately, many people don’t know the difference between AI and real-life fish. They buy into the hype, only to feel disappointed later.

What’s even more concerning is how these photos sometimes depict fish in small tanks or bowls, promoting poor fishkeeping practices. Let’s be clear—small spaces like that are not healthy for fish! It’s heartbreaking to think how these unrealistic photos can mislead fishkeepers into decisions that harm their pets.

At Melbourne Tropical Fish, we pride ourselves on transparency. We don’t use AI-generated photos. The fish you see in our posts are real, just like the ones you'll take home. We believe in showing you what you’re truly getting healthy, vibrant fish that match their photos.

So, let’s keep fishkeeping honest and responsible. If you're ever unsure about what’s real or what’s hype, feel free to ask us! At MTF, we’re here to help you build a thriving, ethical aquarium. 💙
