Dillen stressed that the hotel takes "very good care" of their fish.
"They also have a big fish-tank in the housekeeping department, with a shelter in it, oxygen and plants," he said. "When we think it’s necessary, we put them there for a few days."
He went on to explain that the fish have been with the hotel for four years now.
"If they were not taken care of they would have died a long time ago," he said.
"I think it’s a pity people nowadays tend to look at the glass being half-empty instead of half-full."
