Do Not Mess With Fish 193,

and you thought fish were fun!


in what must be one of the most amazing fences in the world, you would not want to mess with these fish, the owner of the house that the fence protects has installed a surveillance network of 17 cameras with facial recognition system, visitors can look, take photos and record videos, but getting too close will probably set off some kind of alarm,


the fence is the brainchild of Mehmet Ali Gökçeoğluf a successful businessman and engineer from Turket, it is at the front of his property in İzmir'in Çeşme, located just a few feet away from the shores of the Aegean Sea, Mehmet Ali Gökçeoğlu’s property has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Çeşme, attracting up to a thousand visitors a day according to its owner, the businessman says just seeing people line up outside his house staring at his creation makes it all worth it,



the giant aquarium is full of various marine creatures from the Aegean Sea, building the transparent structure was actually the easy part of the project, the hard part was linking the aqua-fence to the Aegean through a 400-meter-long buried pipeline, so the water could be changed continuously to keep the aquarium looking clean and its inhabitants happy, Gökçeoğlu hired a team of private divers to perform the task, and ended up paying approximately 40,000 Turkish Lira ($21,000) to fulfil his dream, if you think the fence is amazing you should see the swimming pool, but that's another story!
