That iPond one was heavily criticized when it first came out as being cruel to the fish. It was pulled from shelves at some places.

I love the sink one, although it might be a bit freaky when cooking. Am afraid my house would be a bit small for the 25M one.

the river-plant one is a great concept. there’s actually waste-water treatment plants that work that way. never thought of it decoratively, but it would be real nice. i’d probably try and put more plants on there, and more stuff inside. make the whole thing more happy looking.

That iPond is disgusting. What is the point? Even the designing is off. The poor fish, imagine being cooped up in a cage twice your size for your (I imagine) very short life. RSPCA anyone??

Some of those are pretty awesome. I really like the sink idea, but it seems completely impractical to me. The running water intermittently hitting against the glass would probably be really hard on the fish. Same thing with the coffee table. “Don’t tap on the glass”, anyone?
I would totally use the desk one and the spaceariums, though. Practical and beautiful.
The iPond is idiotic. Why does everyone insist on keeping betas in containers that are only six inches across? The idea that they will die if kept in a large space is a bloody myth, people! Beta bowls are cruel.

I agree. Some of these ideas are simply evil. I would be PISSED if I had to spend my life chillen in a 6 by 6 inch cube. Although, if I had to live in that sofa, I could still watch NFL games…..
The Infinity one is beautiful, but looks wicked tough to clean…..

Typical of humans, torturing animals to amuse ourselves.

I love that it’s assumed that the animals are tortured. if people are willing to spend so much money buying these unique aquariums i think they’re going to take good care of the fish.
Feb 11th, 2010
stella
No matter how well animals are taken care of, putting a living creature, designed to move or fly around an unlimited space, depriving it of its freedom and confining it to prison for having done nothing wrong is the cruellest torture that only human being is capable of. Those who think animals in any kind of captivity are happy should imagine themselves in their place — in a small cage, well-fed and clean, gawked at by passersby and think if they would enjoy it.
Feb 12th, 2010
Reyairia
prpceolc: Someone who knows how to properly take care of fish knows that the smaller the aquarium, the more DIFFICULT it is to clean properly. A 1G bowl should be cleaned every other day. But the people who own 1G bowls are those who know the least about fish and are not suited to that high level maintenance. Even if someone does clean the bowl twice a day, cleaning a tank that often stresses the fish anyway.
Despite stupid myths perpetuated by the pet industry to make quick sales, bettas do not live in puddles, and the only reason they can survive in the equivalent for more than two days is because bettas have a labrynth organ that enables them to survive bad water quality for SHORT periods of time which they developed to cope with their native dry seasons. therefore, in a bowl a betta’s lifespan is much, much shorter. A betta kept in the right conditions should be able to live 3-5 years, and some are even reported to live up to 7 years.
Has anyone ever kept a goldfish in a bowl? How long did it live? 6 months? a year? two years? A goldfish kept in a 10 gallon tank can live up to 10 years, and one kept in a good size pond can live up to 20 or 30 years. The oldest living recorded goldfish is 39 years old.
No matter how well you keep the fish, one kept in anything less than 3 gallons will never be as healthy nor live as long as one kept in the appropriate filtered (and in case of a betta, heated) tank.

whoa, i really like the sink one..that was creative…

Anthropomorphism, anyone? Just because a HUMAN would feel a certain way about something, PLEASE don’t assume a FISH would feel the same way—ESPECIALLY one that has probably been bred in captivity for YEARS. However, I must agree with Reyairia. I had a fancy gold in a 10gal tank for about 8 years before he died–I don’t know how old he was when I got him.

Is that the real David Bellamy the botanist making a comment? If it is I’d agree with him because at least he has the credentials to know what hes taking about.

Why is it that something as weird as the i-pond is attributed to coming from Australia?
Is it because we are that far away no one is willing to check if it is bull…..?
That item has NEVER been sold in Australia let alone “now removed from shelves”. I am a wholesale aquarium accessory dealer and you can be assured that the RSPCA would never allow such a thing to be sold and nor would any reputable person attempt to market it.

And everyone knows that macs are so horrible, that the only logical thing to do with one is throw away the computer, and make a fish tank out of the case. ;)

I like some of them but that iPond is really cruel. The fish can’t even move.
Why not give it a big tank the size of the coffee table? It gives it enough room to move around and live like a fish.

so all of u who think that some of these are cruel and animals shud b free r basically saying that u dont hav pets? i sure at least a few of u hav a dog or bird or whatever so all of u haters hav to back off cuz it took people a long time to create these. i love animals and i hav fish. i dont think it’s cruel if u know how to take care of the animal.

To those people who were saying that some of these tanks are cruel, I can’t help but agree with you. Very true. You can’t expect your betta to “live long and prosper” in an awful environment like that! It’s just too bad that some people just don’t get it…

OMG people are strange and judgmental. the ipond is not mean. Do people not realize that the natural habitat of betas are puddles little tiny puddles that sometimes don’t even cover the whole fish. And when the puddle drys up the fish jump to another puddle. Stop being so judgmental. All of these tanks are neat and innovative.

The bath and the sink are terrible ideas.
The constant hot water being used would change the temperature of the tank water and stress out and kill (depending on the breed of the fish and temperature of the water) the fish.
They look pretty sweet, but would definately harm the poor little fellas inside.
And the ipod tank isnt as cruel as alot of people are saying. Just as long as a betta has water in its gills, it can live for hours out of a tank. At your local fish store they’ll be selling them in small cups of water that hold LESS water then the ipod thing does. But in saying that, the fish inside the ipod would be miserable being stuck in that thing, so its not really that great of an idea. You keep an ipod in your pocket or bag, the fish has gota hate being shaken around so much when you walk! And the constant vibration from the speaker would stress it out to the max. Plus the water isnt heated and even though bettas can live in cold water, they really love warmer conditions. It looks like a photoshop anyway. Either that, or its dome shaped, which is just plain stupid.
The tv is sick :)
Im hopefully gona be building one soon!
The phone booth looks incredible!! I love it!

Fishes in aquariums, no matter how good they are kept, still they are kept in captivity. But, I think in this way, these animals are atleast kept in clean environment and taken care of. Think about the infinite number of fishes caught and mercilessly killed either to eat or just to throw. We cannot be very perfect. (Even god is not)So, keeping fishes in gud environment and making ambience lively should not be a problem. If they are free in wilderness, they are at constant danger (we have seen it on animal planet).

ok… those of you that keep complaining about the poor fish that cant even move should do you research on the actual fish…. A Siamese fighting fish originally live and breed in small puddles in rice fields. In fact it is kind of cruel to put them in large aquarium because they arent adapted to that life. Also you cant even see how far back the tank actually goes… so dont be so fast to judge he is fine…. lol

Ok sorry to burst your bubble, but bettas have NEVER originated from puddles. They were first from rice paddies, which yes are shallow compared to a pond, but are always at least six inches deep. They have also been found in deep ditches, slow moving streams, and canals. Also, they are better off in a large aquarium, with at least two and a half gallons of water PER fish. They can survive in shallow water yes, but that doesn’t mean a puddle. It means large areas of shallow water. Fish also do have a memory. They can recognize their owners (or whoever feeds them regularly) and they can be trained. Siamese Fighting fish were trained to behave as they do. They already would fight for dominance and territory, but people further trained them to do so even more. Believe me on this, it is in fact cruel to keep any fish in such a small tank no matter how well kept it is. I know this because where I live my family still raises them in the paddies, and has for generations. I would never put my darling Noi in something like that.

Wow, I love the sink. And, yes, there was a hole in it to feed the fish.
And I’m sure the people who made these were smart enough to make holes for water to go out. They want to make decorations. And, yes, the ipond idea wasn’t the best, but maybe rhey made a hole to let the fish out. I’m sure no one would torture a fish like that.

Old tv one very clever however would of prefered more viewing space. couch one awesome however not very practical. Sink one extremely intelligent however insure were the tap water would go. Love telephone both. Apple ones arent that great, if they were in the shape of a product (the ipod one!) it would be a lot better, nice idea though.

Fish are not wood to be owned as pets for your amusement. They are living beings which deserve to be free. The vast majority will not agree with this, kinda like during slavery the vast majority didn’t agree that blacks should have equal rights. The human race is very slow to be moral, it cares more about being entertained.

HELLO PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! I have a Male Jumbo Melano Betta and I have managed to train it to be non aggresive but scared of anything that is not food that enters its tank, but still it loves to swim around its 10L tank. This proves that fish need a large environment to thrive and enjoy themselves in.THE IPOND IS THE WORST INVENTION TO EVER INCORPERATE MAN AND BEAST IN HISTORY!!!!!!!!!

I want one that has black painted glass and is filled with concrete to the top. I have already tested it and it does not leak at all. One benefit the fish don’t seem to need as much food when they have a couple hundred pounds of concrete on them

Most of these are only focusing on design detail and certainly NOT the poor fish involved. Personally, unless you have a very large tank (even then I’m not thrilled) keeping fish in tiny tanks is as cruel as keeping birds in cages. Sigh…humans will never learn.

The I pod aquarium is cruel. Bettas were made to swim in huge rice patties. Not to live in tiny animal footprints or tiny aquariums. What is wrong with us???
