Fascinations’ Desktop Aquarium

image
image

The perfect entry point for beginner fishmongering, this tiny aquarium from Fascinations is fully functioning with a USB-powered water filtration system and low voltage pump. The running faucet is a nice touch but the LED display and overhead light start to feel a bit like overkill. Speaking of which, your fish may not love you for the size of their aquatic home, but that’s the cost of doing business with a tiny, awesome desktop fish tank.
