	Another case of genious DIY
monkeyboy Fish Addict Posts: 521 Kudos: 375 Votes: 223 Registered: 10-Apr-2005	while searching for DIY ideas, i came across this one. I'd love to try pulling this one off. thought about making one, but instead of connecting 2 tanks. it just spans the lenght of one tank. http://www.bio-elite.com/waterbridge.htm Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

I would imagine that since there is no air inside of the tube, a labyrinth fish could drown if it was unable to get out of the tube in time.

Oh, as for the problem with Labyrinth fishes not being able to breathe, I suspect it shouldn't require too much ingenuity to devise a modification that allows the Labyrinth Fish to breathe air in the tube.

Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	They do have fully functioning gills providing the water in the tube wasn't lacking in O2 (at which point you'd need to worry about all the fish)and they didn't take up residence in the tube they should be fine. The way he's running it with the canister seems to keep the water flowing nicely through the tube too, which would not only encourage the fish up, but help get them out should they get disoriented. Go with the flow For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
