Something a little fun

Fish Tanks...  just a little different from my usual topics.  We see them square, rectangle and occassionally round.  But I thought I would throw this in so you can see a few different options if you just want something that makes a statement:

10 Unusual And Unique Fish Tanks Aquariums

10 Unusual And Unique Fish Tanks Aquariums
Many people buy fish aquariums as it helps them relax and some simply because they love fish. But whatever the reason, who wants to buy fish must first purchase an aquarium or fishbowl. But what type? Here are 10 unusual and unique fish tank aquariums for you to consider but remember you must always choose a suitable aquarium for the fish you are planning on getting.

1. Balancing Fishbowl

Just looking at this fish tank makes me uncomfortable, however it is resting on its counter-balanced weight so there’s probably nothing to worry about. Made from premium glass, handblown and slumped by a master glassblower each tank has it’s own unique form and individual characteristics. Available for £295.

2. One Pot, Two Lives

This one is a planter and a fish tank joined together. The fish turn their eaten bait remnants into nutrients for the plant, while the water fed to the plant is filtered as it passes though and becomes clean for the fish. It is a totally natural and lovely system.

3. Aquarium Sink

This highly entertaining accessory allows you to enjoy an aquarium or zen garden within your restroom. The top glass rises in case you need to rearrange the decor and both sides offer a large, circular entry for fish feeding.

4. Fish Tank Coffee Table

This fish tank coffee table is a crowd pleaser. Its base is a fully functional aquarium, and due to the beveled glass, nothing you place on the table will disturb the fish. There is a two inch opening on the surface where feeding occurs and the entire glass top is easily lifted when it is time to add fish or redecorate.

5. Pipeline Fish Tank

This is a guy who is truly a fan of fish and aquariums. The owner made this awesome pipeline fish tank passes over the heads of customers in his cafe. You cat take a seat, relax and watch fish swims through the pipes. It is very unusual but you must give him a mark for creativity.

6. Aquarium Office Table

8. Aquarium Sofa

9. Labyrinth Aquarium


This very innovative and rare aquarium is offered in three colors. The tables are produced in cherry, black or carbon fiber and they conceal the rare filtration and lighting components. Fish swim freely throughout the entire aquarium. Designed for tropical freshwater fish.

10. Poor Little Fish


Poor Little Fish is an unusual approach to saving water. When using this basin, users are prompted into thinking about consumption when the water level in the fishbowl goes down (but does not actually drain out). There are two separate pipelines, so the water refills the fishbowl once the tap is turned off. Don’t worry though, the water from the tap is actually pure and not directly from the fish bowl. After all who would want to wash with fish water?
