Fish tank in/behind Cham cage

What are your thoughts on this? I would like to use an idea like the one below for a Cham cage in a corner, but mine won't be as large! I will but a pic of my blueprints. I want to so badly put a triangular prism fish tank in the back which you could look through the cage and see fish in the back, now I would obviously make so he couldn't reach the tank itself. For it I will build the actual cage out of wood and put screen around it and on top to set my light on. And behind the light in the back would be the access to the fish tank. So also didn't know if this would maybe help with the humidity. The whole thing would be 6 feet tall and first half (3ft) would be cabinets and the top would be the cage. And then on the front left and right edges on the top would be shelves or maybe just a screen for a little more room for the Cham. I'll post some picks but let me know what you think!?!?!?!?

My first thought is that the cham would try to catch the fish and continuously shoot the glass as it would probably think they are food...
I couldn't imagine him liking that eventually and also the fish will probably be bothered by it...

Also, how are you gonna keep the tank clean properly if it's tucked all the way in the back?
Don't you think there will be to little horizontal swimming space for fish?
 
I agree if the Cham sees it all the time they may injure themselves shooting at the glass. Think you could put the fish tank below and front? That way is easier for people to see, the chameleon won't see it, and the chameleon will not spend much time in the bottom of the cage anyway so it's not competing for the same space.

Thanks I guess your right
