New toilet is flush with fish

Tue Jan 9, 8:45 PM ET

Home renovators looking to bring life to the smallest room in their home now have the chance -- with a toilet that doubles as an aquarium.

The Fish 'n Flush is a clear two-piece toilet tank that replaces a standard toilet tank, with a see-through aquarium wrapping itself around a conventional toilet tank.

"We wanted to develop a product that had a dual purpose - to serve as a proper, fully functional toilet and also as a source of entertainment and conversation," said Devon Niccole, marketing director of California-based designer AquaOne Technologies Inc. which has just started to selling the tank.

He said the company, which specializes in water conservation equipment for home appliance, had worked with a marine biologist to design a tank that ensured the fish were not harmed when the toilet was flushed.

The aquarium toilet tank, which sells for $299 (155 pounds), fits most toilets with the 2.2-gallon aquarium piece able to be easily removed for cleaning. The toilet tank itself holds 2.5 gallons which gives sufficient pressure for flushing.

"Some people think we're nuts but other just love it and parents are using it to help their children with potty training. One thing you can guarantee is that people will be talking about it after seeing it in your home," said Niccole.

Okay, fess up. Who works for AquaOne?

I don't know how many times I've sat in my bathroom with friends, just staring into space in uncomfortable silence and desperately wishing I had a conversation piece to break the ice. Problem solved!

[Desnudo]

That is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time.

This should be right up rkmsuf's alley. Anyone know where he works? Perhaps we can chip in to coax his employer to install these on every toilet in the men's bathroom. Would give him something to talk about with Stall Snugglers (or whatever he calls them).

this is right in my sweet spot

I may have to work on sitting facing the tank to crap to fully enjoy this.

You know, that's actually not a bad price (299). I thought it would be at least twice that.

Are these real fish? How would you feed them?

This is too easy, right?

There are so many different ways to go with an answer to this, I think I better just stop here.

I think I've come up with a great "entertainment" idea...how about installing one of these in a guest bathroom and putting a shark or barracuda or something like that in it? I know I'd be seriously paranoid to have a barracuda sitting behind me while I tried to crap. We could even use this concept for a tank with snakes or tarrantulas or scorpions in it.

Crapping is too boring these days. This would add a whole new dimension to going to the bathroom and bring some much-needed drama, tension, and excitement to the process.

I love how the advertisement cites potty training. Great we are raising a generation of people that will crap in aquariums.

I don't see how that would possibly work with my kids. They'd be so preoccupied with watching the fish, they'd never finish their business. Or, they'd be trying to master the reverse dump so they could continuously watch. Neither outcome is too promising.

[rkmsuf]

Only a chosen few can master the reverse dump.

Makes perfect sense though. The tank is a perfect table to use to read the paper on.

My wife has ichthyophobia so I don't think we'll be getting this anytime soon.

Target practice would be my concern with kids.

You know what would be even better? If the seat also doubled as a part of the tank.

[rkmsuf]

this is sure to cause a spike in reported cases of cat drownings



which is a good thing

[Ksyrup]

For an additional $50, it comes with a fishing pole to give guys something to do while they pee.
