That would be Silly now, that would mean people who do planted cubes would no longer be able to. Same goes for marine keepers who do Pico Coral tanks.

No I'm pretty sure they're photoshopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

(just a little joke for the internet nerds on the forum )

No but honestly most of them are, like the ipond etc...

Ipond and the keychain, are sadly real.

Wow...

Okay, maybe a few are real but I'm still pretty sure most are photoshopped.

agree with makers of tanks being encouraged to stop using pics of filled tanks of the most horrendous sizes with fancy goldfish, and discus

A shoe with a goldfish in it?!??

I don't know if that has a real goldfish, but I found this.

Disco Goldfish Shoes
As the name suggests, a disco goldfish shoe is a shoe that contains a goldfish. The disco goldfish shoes grew popular during the 1970’s and could be seen on trendy disco dancers. The goldfish is contained within the heel, or within the heel and sole, of a high-heeled platform shoe. The heel and sole in disco goldfish shoes are made from a transparent material, such as acrylic glass, that allows you to see the goldfish.

The shoe of a disco dancer is of course not an ideal home for a goldfish. Just like any other fish, the goldfish needs oxygen, food and water changes to survive. The constant shakings as the feet moves will naturally also disturb the fish a lot and being trapped inside a very small place is far from healthy. In such a confined place as the heel of disco goldfish shoes, it is hard to know which problem that actually kills the fish first - suffocation or chock - but goldfish will die very soon after being inserted in disco goldfish shoes. Theoretically speaking, it might be possible to keep goldfish in a proper aquarium during the weekdays and place them in the detachable heels of your disco goldfish shoes for a few hours during the Saturday night fever, but this would still be very cruel to the animals and dramatically reduce their life span even if they manage to survive one trip to the disco.

For all those who are attracted to the idea of keeping goldfish in their shoes, the shoe fashion has fortunately developed since the 1970’s. Today you can find great looking disco goldfish shoes that contain a goldfish replica instead of a live goldfish. This way, you can get disco goldfish shoes that will last night after night and you never have to replace the goldfish. Artificial goldfish disco shoes are available in a wide range of colors, patterns and styles – all with high heels of course. You can for instance get disco goldfish shoes that do not only contain a goldfish, but a small artificial green plant as well. This makes the heel look even more like a small goldfish bowl. You can also purchase disco goldfish shoes that contain several small artificial goldfishes, fish replicas from other species, or colored, glowing and glittery water.

I dont' think most of them are photoshopped, a lot of them are actually prototypes. I know the ones I posted are, they are one-of-a-kind with a possibility of mass production.

And to add some more.

Again, neat concept poor execution. Supposedly it has some sort of "advanced" filter than makes it so the water only needs to be changed once a year, however the filter needs to be serviced every month. It's way to shallow for most fish and they're not that interesting to look at from above, and how would you avoid condensation and algae?

Now this ones neat, but at $5000 - $7000 way overpriced.

Some of those are pretty cool, I kinda like the bird cage, but it being able to get into the middle of the bowl would scare the crap out of a Betta I bet. Lol.

I like the last one, I have heard of those before, those filters are supposed to be like those refurgium (or what ever those things are) things but freshwater, they are advertised that you don't need to do water changes.

E2A: whilst technically not an aquarium, someone has took time out to include gravel and is using it as one! Poor fishes!

holy cow! you just cant do that!

You see, that one looks utterly awesome. I can see why someone with no fishkeeping experience would got for that if their LFS said it was suitable for the fish.
Do you reckon the striped sand idea could be made to work in a normal aquarium?
