Toilet aquarium?
The Fish 'n Flush is a clear two-piece toilet tank that replaces a standard toilet tank, with a see-through aquarium wrapping itself around a conventional toilet tank.
"We wanted to develop a product that had a dual purpose – to serve as a proper, fully functional toilet and also as a source of entertainment and conversation," said Devon Niccole, marketing director of California-based designer AquaOne Technologies Inc. which has just started to selling the tank.
He said the company, which specializes in water conservation equipment for home appliance, had worked with a marine biologist to design a tank that ensured the fish were not harmed when the toilet was flushed.
The aquarium toilet tank, which sells for $299 (R 2 167), fits most toilets with the 2.2-gallon aquarium piece able to be easily removed for cleaning. The toilet tank itself holds 2.5 gallons which gives sufficient pressure for flushing.
"Some people think we're nuts but other just love it and parents are using it to help their children with potty training.
One thing you can guarantee is that people will be talking about it after seeing it in your home," said Niccole.
Would you buy a "toilet aquarium" or is it just a fad?

| Looks like it might just let some kids develop strange toilet manners. Can't imagine looking over my shoulder every time I go to the loo. | ||

| As fish keeping for my hobby I think it is sick and those that make this are sick and don't have half a brain to know that some fish will die of methane poisoning and stress due to noise every time you flush the toilet and for the "so called marine biologist " must be brain dead because most fish get startled with sudden loud noise if you think I lie just tap on a aquarium and see what happens ,they dart around in the tank and after any one that reads this and still want one go do some study on fish and their environment and then maybe then you will respect aquatic life and really fall in love with fish keeping but this is plain sick and stupid, this will win definitively the stupidity award of the century. | ||
