It might. Movement plays a big part in a chams (most lizards) prey recognition.
Refraction would cause some difficulty with striking at fish aswell I imagine, despite binocular vision.(just for the record)
I was reading this and wondering if anyone would bring this up. I'm kinda surprised the "experts" didn't catch this. It's a simple fact, the refraction of light going into the water will prevent the cham from ever hitting it's target. If it did get lucky enough to hit one. The sticky mucus on the tongue wouldn't be very effective in water.
As for the idea of the tank being a good way to handle the waste from the cham..You better have damn good filtration. I'm talking something on pond levels. The fecal matter plus the insects that will end up drowning will be very taxing on regular filtration.
