Mac Stuff | A Betta Home Aquarium
Thanks to Angela’s post on living in a better, healthier officetel, I decided to go out and buy a pet fish. I also did some research on buying a fish tank and found this online instead:
Pictured above is a modded Apple Powermac G4 CubeQuarium. The acrylic shell is gutted and sealed, then filled with gravel, water, and live plants. The habitat is perfect for a fish called betta splendens, a.k.a. Siamese fighting fish, or simpy betta fish. Unlike goldfish they are air breathers and do not require filters. A heater may be nice, but a desk lamp will also do.
Order a betta fish here at Greenfish or go to your local box store and pick a healthy one.
