NEW YORK - Home renovators looking to bring life to the smallest room in
their home now have the chance - with a toilet that doubles as an aquarium.

The Fish 'n Flush is a clear
two-piece toilet tank that replaces a standard toilet tank, with a see-through
aquarium wrapping itself around a conventional toilet tank.
"We wanted to develop a product that had a dual purpose - to serve as a
proper, fully functional toilet and also as a source of entertainment and
conversation," said Devon Niccole, marketing director of California-based
designer AquaOne Technologies Inc. which has just started to selling the tank.
He said the company, which specializes in water conservation equipment for
home appliance, had worked with a marine biologist to design a tank that ensured
the fish were not harmed when the toilet was flushed.
The aquarium toilet tank, which sells for $299 (155 pounds), fits most
toilets with the 2.2-gallon aquarium piece able to be easily removed for
cleaning. The toilet tank itself holds 2.5 gallons which gives sufficient
pressure for flushing.
"Some people think we're nuts but other just love it and parents are using it
to help their children with potty training. One thing you can guarantee is that
people will be talking about it after seeing it in your home," said Niccole.
