The light source would be from the aquarium lighting so the fish are
active all the time.
But let's say that's not enough energy from small the solar cells.
Maybe a fix is to use intense UV light. I might dig for some data
sheets.
But solar cells on fish would add weight, probably look ugly and
there's not much area on top of a small robot fish..


Unless they are so small that they look like scales. ;-)

RF and a small signal diode array to rectify the RF to charge the
batteries. You could even let it jam their cell phones, if the RF could
be contained inside the building.


Could covering the aquarium with metal mesh fix that....
The same thing that's on microwave oven doors :)
It'll look crappy though...
