This instructable show you how to make a mini aquarium that work great for sea monkeys , triops .... Powered by LEDS connected to the usb port of your computer. IT's great office decoration :-)
For this project, you will need:

_wire hanger
_ small wood block
_USB cable(any will work)
_ a 100ohm resister
_ LED ( any color you want)
_hot glue
_plastic herbs

Step 1 THE LIGHT BULB

First you have to clean the light bulb, for this , remove the top black part of the light bulb (Copper Connector) with a scissor and break all the glass part inside it (look the image) and than clean inside it using a toothbrush and some water untill it become clear as much as possible .

I sure hope this was a April fools joke. If not, congratulations on making a USB powered fish torture device!

this aquarium work better with sea monkeys, or small fish ( Tetras,betta, White Clouds and Danios...)
SURE it will be torture device for bigger fish (goldfish ...)
and i have said: "I recommend 1 fish because of the size" in the last step.

Even the smallest pet fish WILL die within the week in that thing.

Love the idea and i do think i'm going to try it. my only concern is with such a little amount of water in the bulb will the LED heat the water to an uncomfortable level? i'm going to poke around see about using a larger bulb like those globe ones

led don't produce any heats it's the best light source that you can use it for the following reasons:
_bright and use small amount off electricity
_long life span because in this instructables the led is glued so you can't change it easily
_very bright and colorfull

THanks for watching :)

A Guppy could probably live in there....
Anyways, this is really cool :)

I think that this bulb has a volume of at most 500ml... No fish or even shrimp can survive there...

OK maybe it's small for fishes but it's big enough for shrimp depending on the number off eggs.
