    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.
