The problem with having goldfish as pets is that you can’t really take them for a walk like you can do with land animals like dogs and cats. Well, unless you build a custom fish tank on wheels, that is!
It all started with a series of posts on the Facebook Open Society group from members who claimed to have spotted a man walking his pet fish around Taipei in a contraption that looked like a fish tank on wheels. Some of the photos went viral, and people started commenting that the man pushing the fish tank was a popular Taiwanese YouTuber called Huang Xiaojie. Sure enough, coon after that, he released a video showcasing his invention, calling it one of his toughest challenges yet.
Huang Xiaojie basically welded a metal chassis as support for a sealed acrylic tube, put it on wheels and added a handle for pushing. The acrylic tube is the actual fish tank, and it comes with a battery-powered filtration system, an air pump for oxygen, as well as a lighting system, if you really want to show off your goldfish at nighttime.
Huang Xiaojie took his three gold fish for a long walk and seeing as they all made it back safely, he declared the project a success. His fans agreed, praising his resourcefulness, and hoping that such a fish tank actually comes to market one day, so they can walk their own fish. Some even offered suggestions, like a shock dampening system, to make the fish more comfortable.
Believe it or not, this isn’t the first portable fish tank we’ve ever featured on this site. A while back, we made a post about another ingenious invention, the katsugyo bag – handheld fish tank to take fish for a walk and show them the beautiful world that humans inhabit.
Cruelty to animals, and a stunning waste of time.
I don’t agree don’t people there pet reptiles out for walk there his pets and he enjoys doing it there are still in their tank
The stress he is placing on the koi is beyond belief. What an idiot.
To be fair this is both sad (for the fish) and useless.
let me guess, new york? very creative tho!
I’m betting the same people who think this is cruel to fish have no problem murdering babies.
I bet Anonymous just made an absolute mess all over his life sized Trump pillow.
This “deviant” loser is making sh*t up. It was actually a blow up Trump doll just splooshed all over.
And for your information there’s nothing wrong with being a Trumpophile. I dearly love my Trump blow up doll and I’m going to marry him.
ok, off the trump path, I just wanna say this is a cute idea like this guy is getting exercise while taking his pet fishies with him. So sweet.
This will be great for when we find life on Europa.
