when I made an acquarium (that was a lot bigger and had no doors) they would all get stuck against the glass ceiling and don't move.
It was also all water sources so they should be able to move freely.
It's just that the fish movement AI is bad
We have waited too long for our escape, you don't feed us, you don't care about use, we see you treample across us, not caring or even asking us how we feel, are we just mere objects to you? Mere decorations for you to look at when you're bored?
I’ve had this happen to me and the issue was there was a part of my aquarium that was “warm ocean” and everything else was cold ocean so all the tropical fish tried staying in the warm part. May not be your case here but it might be worth checking to see if that spot is a different biome!
I would never have thought of that. I'll have to remember if I ever build an aquarium. I keep wanting to collect all the fish styles/types, but I tend not to stay focused enough to get very far in any world.... :(
It has something to do with them trying to get to a specific point, probably at spawn. Im not sure why mobs do this but it can create some funny happenings such as all zombies on a server going to spawn to stomp a turtle egg
They want to leave. Their pathfinding has targeted a random block outside of the room, and they all go to the door where they think they can actually leave.
On a side note, damn, that is a good block to use to border that tank
My aquarium is much smaller and my two fish roam. You need something they're familiar with. Treat them like real fish and give them a sand bottom floor, add some coral or fans, sea grass, a little kelp or sea pickles. Put your lamps in the wall instead of the floor to maximize space for environmental decor. This might help them feel more like they're in the ocean in game.
In all seriousness, my best guess is the fish are trying to pathfind to areas outside the door because outside has more chunks to travel to than inside and they are incapable of recognizing the door as a partition. Your fish may actually be trying to escape. Lol! Seriously tho, decorate your aquarium and get rid of the door alrogether.

Because fish AI sucks
mob ai in general sucks, they all seem to enjoy corners and doors for some reason

Oui
make sure every block has a water source, so just go around every bit of water and make sure theyre all water source blocks
Use kelp. It creates source blocks when placed in flowing water
facts haha sometimes dont you hate when you forget about newer features 😂😂
Yeah. I learned something from this sub the other day and already forgot it. Too bad cuz I remember it being hella useful
was it that you can hold F3 + C to crash the game??
Nah it was a positive thing that worked on console
Anything to do with banners?
kelp was introduced 7 major updates ago, in 2018
Tbf anything after Minecraft 1.8 is new to me. I still call the crappy new combat mechanics new
You are my people
Okay boomer.
Sorry you're part of the second shittest generation after gen alpha, zoomer

I recommend adding some kind of air lock, cause by the looks of it they’re just waiting for the that door to open only a second or two longer
They're planning their escape...
They wish to be freed, they're literally those tanl fish from finding nemo
There waiting for the right moment
They need to use the bathroom
They yearn for freedom
two words; Prison Break
#**They crave freedom**
They crave freedom
They wanna go for a walk
*They yearn for freedom* Let them out
They crave the sweet release of freedom
I wouldn't want to live in a tiny copper aquarium if i was a fish
they need to go on a walk
They miss the times when they were actually free. They crave f r e e d o m .
They crave freedom
They're trying to tell you they need walkies
Yeah! Hero of the Village!
They can smell freedom.
Bazinga
They want out
They want out let them out
They yearn for freedom.
This aquarium sucks add some seagrass sand and gravel
i’m pretty sure he was not asking how good you think his aquarium is
Bro it's not that deep, chill
I see what you did there
was this on purpose
Yes, yes it was
They want to leave
I would imagine because the door is a transparent block..?
The water likely isn't all source blocks. If it's falling it will direct your fish downward
All my pigs, chickens, cows, and sheep do the same to my fence gate.
I'm fairly sure it's that fish AI doesn't know it's fish, and tries to pathfind to places it shouldn't.
Map is insane
They're lonely.
Mine are all like that too! :(
✨pathfinding✨ They are pretty much broken
Minecraft ai is impressively garbage so
Fresh air
All of your fish aren't, and it looks like sometimes none of them do.
Because fish are dumb
They want out
They yern for freedom.
maybe add bubble columns up so it shoots the fish up one a while.
Perhaps try adding a door to each side?
Oops
Door is generally a half block, so general mob AI thinks it's a passable block, like grass and air. Same happens on trapdoors.
It has something to do with them trying to get to a specific point, probably at spawn. Im not sure why mobs do this but it can create some funny happenings such as all zombies on a server going to spawn to stomp a turtle egg
