Are your fish getting a little lazy on you? Well then, it’s high time that you give them the gift of work with this Computer Office Fish Tank.

This hilarious fish tank comes complete with a computer desk, computer, lamp, pen holder & keyboard. For just $24 you can put those lazy fish to work & run their office from the outside! I love it. Two fishy thumbs up.

Ok, yeah it is cute and all….but it is WAY to small for 1 goldfish, not not mention 2. This is animal abuse also, there is no freakin filter or bubbles or aything….

you should consider making different places such as at home with a couch, or the fish having a tiny fish bowl inside of that one with fake fish in that one or a kitchen sceen them making dinner

its cruel to keep anything in there, even guppies because they breed so much as live bearers.

well there would be no point in buying it because you cannot fit anything in there

it does look very narual either, a little tacky

i give it 0/5
0 piont for 0 effort in trying to actually find a suitable home for a fish

Cute, yes… but not suitable for a fish of any size let alone TWO. Where is the oxygen being incorperated into the tank? Filter?
Would you like to live in your waste?
Too little space to swim comfortably, with too many things to bump into. I feel sorry for these fish.

For people that adore this product…you need to research the proper care of fish.

Ignorance is bliss for you, tragic for your pets.

Research the proper care of any “pet” before purchasing…
Even a Beta that lives in a cup at a pet store has a better survival rate than these guys..and that’s pretty bad >_>

I have 1 myself, its cute , but WAY 2 small. So I just keep it on my com-p desk as the decoration. 7/10

i think this size tank would do fine for a betta but not for goldfish as they grow to be fairly big fairly fast. and yeah there are to many things to bump into, and the materials look to be made of plastic which i would be leary of but, yeah very cute idea just unrealistic

That tank is too small to comforatbly house ANY fish. I wouldn’t reccomend putting any dwarf frogs in it either.

For ANY pet research before buying.

I work in a pet store and frankly, im horrified. This “tank” is a joke. Goldfish need at least a gallon per fish, and betta’s need 1/2 to 1 gallon tanks. And when I say a gallon I mean one gallon of SWIMMING space. This tank is small to begin with, but with all the furniture its even smaller.

The directions on the box (I’ve seen this product before) are wrong too. “Just fill with water from the tap”????? NEVER use tap water! Tap water contains chlorine and all sorts of chemicals that will have your fish floating in no time. “Easy cleaning”??? It has no room for gravel. Gravel is essential for bacteria colonies that help neutralize nitrates and keep the water balanced. You will be changing this water every few days.

Bottom line: Its cute, but not worth it. Go buy yourself a $6 fish bowl instead of wasting your money on this hunk of junk.

Im no fish activist, but if you read these warnings and still buy it because its “cute”, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh, and something else. The photo has been doctored. The two goldfish were added into the picture and their size reduced.

WOW!…….THIS IS PERFECT FOR BETTA FISH. THEY HATE TO LIVE IN A REALLY BIG TANK. IVE BEEN WITH BETTA FISH FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW AND THEY LIVE SO MUCH BETTER IN A SMALL TANK. THIS IS SUPER CUTE AND A PEFECT SIZE FOR BETTA FISH. ABOUT A FILTER AND BUBBLES I WOULD THINK YOU HAD TO ADD THAT IN THERE…..AND BETTA FISH DONT NEED BUBBLES BECAUSE THEY BREATH RIGHT FROM THE AIR.

That fish tank is very cruel. Its far too small and there are too many things in it. A fish tank should have gravel a filter and maybe some plants in it. No-one would want to lie in that tank and plastic is poisionus to fish. If you care about your fish and dont want themto die then save the funny office theme and get them a proper tank.

its cute but i dont think that 2 fish should be in it maybe one but not two but i think its adorable i would get 1 and i could put my gold fish in it but only 1 u never know if u put two in they could breed and then u would have to get another fish tank and that would cost you more money so just have one fish in there or dont buy that fish tank buy another one that is suitable for two or more

yet again i think it is cute i so want one!!!!
i love it i think that only one fish could go in it though

its a goood picture though it very cute but it should only be one fish in there at a time but you could have two fish in there just for a photo that wouldn’t matter cause it wouldn’t be for too long

Well im a marine biologist and it doesn’t matter if people think its too small because fish have to die at one stage and it has some swimming area it makes it exciting for the fish to go around obsticales and as long as you give it food and clean water when it needs to be clean then a fish will survive.

At the lab we have quite a few tanks with different fish in it to see which fish would be good in the tank so far we found out the gold fish can live in there if there is only one and betta fish can live in there it is quite amazing to think that they can but we have had them set up for 3 and a half weeks and all of the fish are alive still so i think people should be able to buy them and put small fish in there it is quite a good tank and it is very interesting to study if you do not believe me you should try it yourself i have 3 tanks at my house 1 with betta fish and 2 with gold fish i have had them for 3 weeks and i think that they are a good tank and i think it funny sometimes when a fish is swimming around going around the obstacles if you think that the tank is not very suitable or too small then dont buy one but some people might like the tank and buy one it is there choice i like the tank and i think that it is a nice thing to have in your house you have people commenting on it all the time and your fish do survive in it

Humans die at one stage too but usually people aren’t forced into a condition where death is likely just cause it may seem cute. Go back to watching Hannah Montana emily, comment back when your brain develops.

Marine Biologists would at least know how to spell, and have good grammar!! How else would they get that qualification?!

And that tank is WAY too small for anything, not even a Betta (they live in huge, shallow rice paddies, that are kilometers/miles square). The fish would stress too much, and their immume systems would therefore be comprimised, resulting in illness and death, that is if the stress doesn’t kill them to start with.

And goldfish NEED a LARGE TANK: they get big, produce lots of waste, and need lots of excersize to remain healthy and reach the max of their lifespan. They often die young as a result of un-educated owners, who put them in tiny (2 gallon) bowls, over/under feed them, don’t change their water correctly, and/or house them with uncompattable tank mates, all resulting in stress, then death. Goldfish aren’t the only fish made to suffer, either; it’s just a common example.

So: THE TANK IS TOO SMALL & IT’S CRUEL!!

okay first off i do agree that it is way to small for 2 fish but if u really think about it u can take the stuff out and put it into a bigger tank u ppl are really stupid to think that u can not do that…..DOUCHE…. i am 15 and i know that that is pretty sad well there is a difference between u and me i HAVE a life and apprantly u dont so im gonna quit typing and get back to my life that i have…..

okay 2. u can always take some stuff out and add a filter they are just showing u what they are selling i bet if u had a chance to make money u would do it but i guarntee that the fish were never harmed so no need to worry fish huggers…

What the fuck Moriah Goldfish need at least 10 gallons of swimming space to live and they would still be stressed to put one in a 10 gallon tank. To put one in this would be a death sentence. Would you like to live in a very small area where you can barly do anything.

This tank is definitely funny, but definitely NOT functional. Period. I cannot think of a single fish that can live a full life in a tank this small. Even for a betta– how are you going to fit a heater?! And would you really want to clean this thing every day? Because that is what it takes to keep organic toxins at below-lethal levels in a tank so small.

Considering that it has been scientifically proven that fish can feel pain, I can’t see any good use for this tank.

For anyone considering a foray into the world of aquariums, I have only this to say… the single thing that can make fishkeeping as easy as possible is:

RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH. Even if you think you kow what you are doing.

If people only did this more often perhaps these tanks would vanish fom stores.

calm down PETA. My wife got me this tank for a gift a few years ago. It is a perfect size for a betta. I have one in there and it has lived for years. Never has any torn fins from the decorations, and if you idiots knew anything about fish you know that goldfish and bettas don’t need filters. As long as you keep the water clean you are fine. It is a great gift but I can’t find the link to buy another one if anyone could help me with that.
