IF Aquarium is a Z-machine piece of interactive art written with Inform 7 and is © 2010 by Michael Kichline and Michael Eckhart.
In this short and flawed artpiece, you play as anyone visiting an aquarium. You begin in a glass tunnel, with sharks swimming on the other side of the glass. The exits are east and west, and there's a closed trap door above you.
This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 2 of the artpiece.
SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of a piece of interactive art. Please make an honest effort to play the artpiece before reading this walkthrough.
Shark Tunnel
Note: There will be many spelling errors and very little content in this artpiece.

*** You have a starring contest with the turrtles... They win. ***
That seems to be all you can do in this one.
Note that there's no way to leave the aquarium or otherwise win.
Also, because of bugs, going north through a dive door isn't the same as enter dive door. Going north through dive doors takes you to rooms that the player is not supposed to see.
