That’s one fishy situation.

As a busy medical school student, Gita Lozovaya spends much of her time studying, but decided to unwind one day at the beach with a friend.

Living in Yalta, a coastal town on the southern edge of the Crimean Peninsula — “On my day off from college, my friend and I decided to have a picnic by the sea,” Lozovaya shared with What’s The Jam.

“Walking along the beach, we saw a blue car in which fish of amazing beauty swam [like an aquarium].”

Lozovaya came across the unusual fish tank located outside the Yalta-Intourist Hotel. From the director of a local aquarium — who remains unnamed — the student learned that the life-sized car had been transformed into a koi-filled aquarium seven years earlier.

“…I was informed that the car had been fully converted into an aquarium, and the interior was coated with a special substance to prevent rust,” Lozovaya mentioned to the outlet.

“It is absolutely safe for fish.”

A fascinated Lozovaya sent videos to friends and family — and also posted a clip of the peculiar fish tank to TikTok, where it quickly went viral, amassing over 4 million views.

“The next day, while I was studying, a huge number of notifications started coming to my phone saying that people liked my video,” the 20-year-old explained. “People were fascinated by the car and asked a lot of questions.”

Thousands of people in the comment section of the viral video couldn’t get enough of this fishy situation.

“Marine biologist here, these fish are not living in safe conditions because it’s illegal to drive without a seatbelt, and they could get hurt,” one user quipped in the comment section.

“This is actually really dangerous because the fish could learn to drive and then they might crash,” another person humorously wrote.

“Oi mate, you can’t just park there,” another funny comment read.

“People are mad in the comments, but that is better than a Walmart fishbowl that parents get their kids’ pet fish, in my opinion,” argued one commenter, defending the unique aquarium.

“Why y’all acting like they’re swimming in gasoline,” agreed another.

The nursing student also informed commenters that the roof opens up, which allows aquarium staff to clean the tank and feed the fish living inside the car.
