but then, while looking for aquarium ornaments online I found this:

I just can't imagine why you would want to subject a fish to that day in, day out.

It does appear to be both a functioning tank, and flusher... the kit comes with Flushing System, Flush Valve, Fill Valve ...

They suggest consulting you LFS for stocking suggestions which is good (kinda) because I can't imagine that it would be suitable for the goldfish or platies that are shown in the picture.

If the truth be told , it wouldnt be really suitable for any fish, the vibration of the flush, the slamming of toilet lids and backs hoving into view on their front panel, ammonia from urine , bathroom cleaners and detergents. All sounds like a perfect way to stress and kill fish.

Kitch gone feral.

The impracticality of it! I bet I could easily get to double digits on why this is a stoo-pid setup.

brings a whole new meaning to that old method of cycling your tank

What keeps the fish from getting flushed when you flush the toilet?

They're in a tiny little area lining the tank. There's a whole bathroom...set? by those makers. Bathtub, toilet and kitchen (rather bathroom) sink.

And hey, if you're looking for good tank ornaments

Try here .

We've got a few more big shipwrecks coming as soon as the photos are done being processed....wonder who should be working on that rather than posting to fish profiles *whistles innocently*
