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.

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.

It might have been more effective horizontally? I think the fish might have found it more fun. Just my conjecture.

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.

Lol. Interesting idea.

Please don't put any fish in this. Fish need constant waterchanges and upkeep that would make this tank a deathtrap.

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
