‘Fish On Wheels’ Frees Your Guppy From The Tyranny Of The Tank (video)

A company called Studio Diip has created a motorized go-cart. For fish. Although “why” is the primary query that comes to mind, at this point we’re solely able to provde the “how.” When Little Dory starts to swim in a selected route, her movement is captured by a high-mounted net cam, processed by a Beagleboard and used to steer the Arduino-controlled carriage below her bowl. As seen within the video after the fold, that lets her comply with her muse outside the Skimmer Aquarium Filter‘s confines. We’re hoping this experiment makes it past the lab sooner or later, as we’re pretty damned curious to see the place a fish desires to go. (“Away from the cat” or “towards the ocean” seem like protected bets.)

The reason for the title is the leaves of this plant are able to turning almost one hundred p.c purple in the fitting circumstances. The roots and bottom part of the plant normally have plenty of crimson in them, however the leaves are what give them such a hanging look.

On the other hand, acrylic is far costlier, but a better alternative for bigger tanks. Acrylic is proportionally stronger than glass and may be molded into varied shapes and sizes for a extra unique appearance. Acrylic can also be extremely lightweight, which begins to matter when you’re coping with a whole lot of gallons of water and weight.
