Description
This magic aquarium toy is a tiny fish tank in clear plastic, with a bright red lid, a dark base and a leafy green plant rising between two little fish: one striped orange and red, the other a round blue fellow with big white eyes. Its box reads 'Just fill up with water' and 'With Growing Fish', and that is the whole idea: add water and let the little scene come to life. It measures 8cm long, 4cm wide and 5cm high and weighs just 34 grams, so it fits in the palm of a hand.
We like it on a desk, a bedside table or a bedroom shelf, anywhere a splash of colour is welcome and a real tank would never fit. There is no pump, no filter and no feeding to think about, just a cheerful little aquarium to fill, set down and watch. It makes a simple play piece for a quiet afternoon, and the clear walls let you see the fish and plant from the front, back and sides, so it looks just as good from across the room as it does up close. Because it is so small and light, it travels easily too, slipping into a pocket or a bag.
It is made from plastic, rubber and card, and it arrives in its own printed box, illustrated in a playful retro style with bright fish, bubbles and pebbles, so it is ready to give just as it comes. To keep it looking its best, wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth, and empty the water before storing it. Once filled, stand it on a flat, level surface away from the edge. Wrap it in its box as a small, happy surprise, or set it beside a row of books on a shelf for a little everyday colour.
