I was boring and I made an original but shabby fish tank for my aquatic pet.

Step 1: Find the materials

I used water bottles and a silicon glue gun.

You'll also need scissors and a screwdriver.

Way to go, ahem, leave the fish endureding all this stress and waterchanges, he will live long as you occasionally put him / her a few minutes in such a construction, really. Sorry, but I have no nicer way to say I detest people who don't care for their animals in a serious way.

same that fish definitely needs more space< and that comment wasn't mean look at the comments for gum ball machine fish tank.

Oh no!, why doesn't people read the text and my comments!

This was only a test, if I have time, this summer I'll make a similar and more evoluted one fishbowl assembly project

Hahahaha fun idea, but your grammar needs work? Sorry i had to say it...

you could make one with like 10 bottles all linked up so its like a maze for the fish. great instructable
ebcat (author) in reply to sithlilJul 19, 2011. 8:20 AM
yes, now, that I have some more time, I'll try to make a better one!, I'll post the instructable when it's made.

Thanks for the tip!

I’m all about the “be nice” comment policy, so I’ll be polite in my saying that this type of creation is unsuitable for any sort of fish. Pictured here is some sort of goldfish, either a comet or fantail; these fish need space as well as filtered water (they can survive in such conditions, but they will not be healthy/comfortable). The only fish that should live in stagnant water is the beta fish, which I do not suggest placing in such a small setup.

Read the anterior comments and my reply...

I was veeeery bored and I made it, then I put my fish inside, only to use the tank one time at least, until throw it away. The fish didn't suffered, probably they had fun for a while!

It might have been more effective horizontally? I think the fish might have found it more fun. Just my conjecture.
ebcat (author) in reply to ahallock-1Mar 10, 2011. 5:29 AM
if i have time, this summer I'll try to make another original fish tank, but better, and habitable for a fish.

xDD

Sounds fun! I wonder what would happen if you used the smaller ones to connect to larger "pools". Also, try using smaller fish, so they have more room. Also, smaller fish have a smaller turning radius, and thus would have an easier time navigating the resulting maze like structure. Also, consider a way to add a bubble stone to aid in keeping the water aerated.

what is grotiest? Does that mean "fish torture device"?
ebcat (author) in reply to masoonFeb 14, 2011. 2:48 PM
NOO, anytime! It's grotty, because it's rude, ugly, useless...

and I repeat I only put my fish inside for a minutes to use the fish tank one time. After that I threw it away.

PS: the fish isn't still living...

Lol. Interesting idea.

Please don't put any fish in this. Fish need constant waterchanges and upkeep that would make this tank a deathtrap.
ebcat (author) in reply to silent1mezzoJul 27, 2010. 5:49 AM
obviously I quit the fish in two hours and I throw away, was unstable, buy maybe I'll do a similar and better tank

poor scared fish ! ! lol.. one year I used 3liter soda bottles to make hanging fish tanks outside, they worked pretty well with 2 goldfish as long as they were out of the sun. no lid and I drilled 6 holes about an inch down from the neck (top of "shoulder") to allow air circulation
ebcat (author) in reply to l8niteJul 22, 2010. 11:43 AM
cool idea! I am thinking to do another similar fish tank, but a little better than the old, and really suitable for fishes!
