CRITTER TREAT SYMPHONY

Well, what’s the point in letting an animal (or animals) live in your house if you can’t use it as an excuse to buy some fancy tech?

There’s nothing like coming home to the unconditional love of an affectionate guppy. Fish are by far the least annoying domestic animals… and with over three million UK households reportedly taking in a new pet since the start of the pandemic, we just hope most of them were smart enough to choose companionship of the aquatic kind.

But who’s got room for one of those old-school wall-filling aquariums?

Well, we haven’t, so we’re quite enamoured with this much more modern take on fishkeeping from Biorb: a classy tubular affair that holds 15, 30 or 35 litres of water but is no more than 41cm in diameter.

Set on either a black or white base, it comes with all the usual bits including a patented filter system that should make it relatively easy to keep clean. In fact, the only hard part will be keeping all the fish’s attention long enough for a serious discussion about which plants, rocks and bits of old wood they’ll share it with.
