I don't know the answer but, I have the same fear. I have full on panic attacks when I start to get close to an aquarium. I do not have a fear of water, or fish in open water. I can go fishing and not be afraid. It is strictly fish in a tank!

There is not a name for this phobia but here are a couple that could explain why you are afraid of fish in a tank.

Claustrophobia is a fear of confined spaces.

Hyelophobia (or Hyalophobia), Nelophobia is a fear of glass.

Aquaphobia or Hydrophobia is the fear of water.
