    Live Fish in a Toilet Tank ??

    I was searching on eBay for a purple toilet tank and seat cover set ... (BTW, if any of you have seen one, let me know! Can't find purple ANYwhere! )

    And I happened across this auction listing.

    What?!?!

    Ok, maybe the fish aren't bothered by the motion of the water. I'm sure some fish live in quite rapidly moving water in the wild. However, what about the chlorine?! He says he's had fish live in this thing for two years now. I don't know ....

    Seems a bit cruel to me! What do you think?

    Have you seen this Twister?

    As for the eBay auction.... I would never buy anything that big or expensive from across the pond anyway.

    But irregardless of that, I think it's hokey and I can't imagine it's good for the fish.

    Now that one isn't so bad, it's got a separate tank for the fish, and another for the water that actually is used to flush the toilet. Not that I think it's a good idea, mind you, but at least it's better than using the same water!

    That's cool but I don't know if I'd buy one.
    Twisterdog-has he been keeping the SAME fish in there for 2 years? Because I would think that would kill them with the chlorine and everything.

    That's gross. Why would anyone want fish there, anyways?


    I found this.. It's more of a lilac than a purple.

    Now HERE is two entirely different topics in one thread if I've ever seen it! LOL

    I'm looking for the thing that goes around the tank of the toilet, and the thing that goes on the lid of the tank, and the thing that goes on the seat, all matching. Made out of the same material as a bath rug, but without the rubber non-slip backing. Did that make sense?

    Husky_mom ... oooooh, no. I don't sew. I take things across town to my mommy so she can sew a button back on for me! That Purple Store site is great! I LOVE purple ... but I guess it's not a "normal" color for home decorating, because I can never find anything. Of course, I live in the middle of the boonies, too.

    I was thinking of sending this guy on ebay these questions and seeing what he says. I'll post the link if he answers. Hee hee hee

    Seems, uh...fishy to me.

    Also, if you notice, this person has only been a member on eBay for 3 days, so I would be leery of this person. I don't see how something like that would be possible. It's probably a scam. The one Kim posted makes way more sense! *snicker*

    Good luck in your search for purple toilet seat covers!

    Welllll, I have to confess ... we have a snake in our bathroom. He likes the humidity and heat, so we put his house in the bathroom. It's acutally very pretty. He's a tree snake, and his house is all full of plants. It looks like a terrarium ... until you see him move.

    The looks like a cheap plastic spinoff of a similar model I've seen. The tank only holds 3 gallons of unheated, untreated water so you really can't keep fish in it.
