noooo ! DON'T FLUSH MEEeee
Man, If I had indoor plumbing, I'd order me one of these!
I am not sure I love the idea of having to feed my toilet ...
That looks like it would complement this nicely:

If Aquaman had a toilet, this would be it!
I'm trying to figure out how this can possibly work. Is there a separation between the toilet tank and the fish tank? if not, you're regularly adding cold water to the tank which will not promote the health of your fish. If there is a separation, how insulated is it (cold again) and wouldn't it make simple toilet repairs quite complicated?
Guy - definitely a separation. If we're talking about goldfish and danios (which seems to be the demo case), the temp range would be okay.
Still not a fan, but not as harmful as on first view.
MB @ 7: It's 2.2 gallons, though, so no way you could keep goldfish in it healthily. Like most aquarium illustrations, that tank is completely overstocked.
Is there a way to suck dead fish past the separation into the resevoir tank to make fishy funerals that much easier?
while on bathroom humour; was linseeding me sledge the other day when it occurred to me: fill a condiment squeeze bottle with Karo and red food dye and take it to the frosted glass shower stall with you next AM with a fresh octopus from the fishmongers. When your significant other joins you for their morning ablutions at the washbasin, start singing loudly and then grunt while spewing crimson slashes over the glass. When your sure you have their attention, ram the octopus beak first into the glass and sploosh the rest of the dye over everything. Keep singing. Just thought I'd share that.
Tak: You live alone, I take it?
well, now I do.
I would find that utterly and completely hilarious if my guy did it. No shock value here. We know each other too well.
I actually bought the very same toilet seat for a place (small cheap place) that I own in france. I told my daughter that it is the same as taking a dump in the ocean. She is 15 and rolled her eyes at me.
I think I'm a bad father - but it begs the question about the above contraption
Takuan, your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I already imagine this photo being used by environment paladins wannabes who will create a chain email to stop Chinese companies producing toilets that let you flush innocent gold fishes...
The bar down the street has that same toilet seat in the men's room. Not in France though.
It would only be fun if I could pull out the plexi barriers. I could invite guests over, fill them full of wine, and give them a choice between peeing their shorts and flushing the fish.
Maybe it's adaptable so I could use small birds and rodents.
I'll look into it.
This would be a great water conservation device if the fish were actually swimming in the tank water. I know I'd think twice about flushing too often if I knew it was going to send a bunch of fish to their doom.
It wouldn't matter, most of 'em would be dead anyways. Unless you had some sort of dechlorination every time you filled up the tank, the water would kill them all off.
The fish isn't actually swimming in the water you flush with. There're 2 tanks, one inside the other. You flush with water in the inner tank. The fish swims in the outer tank. When you flush, the water level in the inner tank goes down, but not the one in the outer tank. It's visible in the video.
