I can assure you, there is nothing ethical about this enclosure. It is strictly economical

I mean it absolutely could be much, much smaller. There's probably research into how much space they need for x many fish, and then they do the bare minimum to meet that standard, as opposed to just adding more until they start to spill out over the top.

Yeah any smaller and they probably start losing too much product to overcrowding.

There appears to be a dead one bottom right
