What is this stupid argument about?

The UK and the US are friends (END OF DISCUSSION)

Grammar doesn't matter on the interweb (END OF DISCUSSION)

there children... happy?

lol just kidding. I think that its just a matter of convinience and laziness rather than lack of intelegence. With technology these days grammer is just not as important. And peerpresure what has Britain done for the world.

Your "You're" should have a period after it. Your "English" should not be capitalized. Your "zombies" should not be able to run so fast.

The only thing I would be worried about is having labyrinth fish (that have a lung-like breathing system) not be able to get to the surface for air while they are in the tube. Bettas are labyrinth fish, as are most gouramis. The cichlids they have in there should be good to go though. This isn't a cruel system, those of you that say the pressure changes would hurt them have obviously never been scuva diving. The pressure would be less in the tubes as they have less water pressure above them, however, the height is not a great enough difference to really make a significant change in air pressure around them. When you stand on a ladder can you really sense the change in air pressure? They will be quite alright. As far as if the pump goes out, I can see the possiblity of the water overflowing the tanks, but I'm sure they made a safegaurd against that. I really am not sure about the physics about that so Lauren Cooper might be right about that. I say the tank is safe and having worked around fish for the better part of ten years, I am big on giving fish the ideal environment. I wouldn't consider it a natural environment, but I would say it's not harmful.

cool !!! but the tanks should be waaay bigger !

Physics- as long as the tube is airtight and the water level of the two tanks is equal (equal distance above the ground) there will be no water flow between tanks, and so of course no overflow. If you don't believe me, go get two bowls of water and a plastic tube and try it yourself morons. The comment in the article about the pump is simply a description of how they filled the acrylic tube portion of the tank the first time they set it up.

Cruelty: All you idiots who think this is cruel, have you ever noticed that in the wild fish live in underwater cave complexes, or swim through narrow sections in rock or coral to get to another location? This is a completely normal behavior and the fish are not suffering as a result. If you feed the fish in a certain area of the tank they learn that that is where they are normally fed and will anticipate food there. You could alternate ends I suppose to get the fish to swim through the tank more.

Cleaning: yeah, this would be a bitch

Interesting idea, though that pump on top would require perfect maintenance as failure, even a marginal loss of vacuum pressure, would quickly remind the owner of water pressure by easily overflowing those tiny tanks, hopefully there is some kind of fail safe.

Oh... and cleaning algae is bad enough in a small 5 gallon fish tank w/o a complicated vacuum pump/ fishy overpass. I hope the filters are powerful and reliable too... a water change on that thing would take an excruciatingly long time.

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but this just seems like a bad idea to me and the place going out of business does little to change my mind, a few ground level aquariums would be nearly as nice, cheaper, and could even have a tube connecting them w/o the microscopic margin for error.

i dont get how its cruel when its the fishes' choice to go in the tube or not

Oh yes. Giving them MORE SPACE TO ROAM is just HORRIBLE. We should all just trap our poor little fishies in to one tank that's way too small for them. e.e Dude, come on. It would be cruel to make them JUMP from tank to tank but to build them a specially designed fish pathway? That's awesome.

Chill out my man. Why do you always take the fishes side haha. Dont worry if someone dosent provide scientific data when making such a trifle statement about a trifle subject. And ultimately it does just look cool. I dont think they had the fish in mind when constructing such a controversial piece of architecture haha.

What a great idea. The should come up with something like this for hamsters and gerbils...Oh ya they already did, the human ass.

i really enjoyed reading all this, tank looks gr8, the fish wudnt go up there if it was uncomfy for them, the cleanin and all that looks rather impractival, but if the guy set it up im shore hes got it sorted,
gazman ur a twat, itheres plenty of tank, they dnt av to go dwn the tunnels they choose to,
pease out
