Neat Aquarium Idea?

YngUrbanCMH · Jul 30, 2003

I have this giant starbucks mug, that measures 2 feet tall that I think would make a really neat aquarium. I'm not sure how many gallons it is, but I'm going to guestimate that the top is about a foot wide, and the base is about 8 inches.

Anyone have any ideas for lighting, filtration, and maybe even what kind of fish would prefer the tall aquarium?

Thanks!

This is my first time attaching a photo... hope it works! :crazy:

Wacky idea which may be frowned upon by some but don't they keep Siamese Fighters in small tanks? Let's see what responses you get.

I think the tank is at least 15 gallons

Can't be 15 gallons, If we average out the width to 10" the length will be the same so your looking at 10 US gallons (ish),

...somebody

probably around the 5 gal mark I estimate!! :blink:

Would be a bit different, if maybe a little diffucult and warped to see the fish through the ridges!!

I you could adapt a light to the top I think it would look quite impressive, kind of like a living larvae lamp!! :lol:

I'm sure a fighter would be ok in it, or a small goldfish???

Not a good idea in my opinion. Most fish need to swim lengthways, not up and down, even bettas prefer that way. Keep it as a mug, or make it into a lamp and keep fishies in a tank - not a mug :crazy:

Ive seen those at the local Starbucks... (one of the 4 withn a mile

) and I would guess they are about 2-3 gallons... Maybe some dwarf puffers? :thumbs:

Hi

Keep it as a large mug. And not as a prison for some poor fish. Just my opinion.

I'll agree with the keep it as a mug statements. man I could put alot of coffe in that, or even better. BEER :beer:

Hahaha... thanks folks..... BEER IT IS! Would have definately never suggested it had I known it was only a couple of gallons.
