iPond nice in principle, terrible in practice
I suppose that someone's intentions were good when they came up with the iPond. That clever name is what a Sydney store calls its iPod speaker which has the unique, if not strange, ability to be a fish tank.
Unfortunately, it turns out that the "tank" that the iPond provides is 15 times smaller than the recommended tank size of the fish it suggests to use. This figure comes to us directly from the RSPCA themselves, who recommend a ban on this product altogether.
Controversy has been injected into this issue as some say the iPond has plenty of room. Dang, could someone just see how long a fish would last? I'm guessing these products would not sell if all they give us is music along with a fish floating on its back.
Maybe Pets Paradise will be validated, and the product will make its way to the states. The cost is about $70 in Sydney, so who knows what it would go for here.

I hope it doesn’t make it to North America! That thing is horrible. Not only does it not give enough room for the fish to live, it blasts out music as well! And we all know soundwaves conduct better in water than they do through air. Those poor fish!
