Product Description

USB Mini Desktop Aquarium - Using a PC is sometimes not the most calming of experiences. So why not bring a little peace and tranquility to your digital life with this mini desktop aquarium!? Just fill it with water and plug it into any available USB port. A built-in motor creates a current for the 2 included tropical fish (yes, they are fake), letting them swim gently back and forth. And for those late nights, a built-in high-intensity blue LED lights up the tank for continuous relaxing enjoyment!

5.0 out of 5 stars A life-like aquarium that doesn't have to be cleaned., December 28, 2004

This review is from: Compucable USB Mini Desktop Aquarium (Personal Computers)
I got one of these for Christmas. When I opened the package, I thought it would be another one of those gifts that gets put away and forgotten, but I decided to try it before I put it away.

As it turns out, this is one of my favorite gifts. The tails of the fish move, making them look alive. The blue light is soothing and adds to the real look of the fish. The fish are constantly swimming and really look alive. Even better, the aquarium doesn't have to be cleaned and the fish don't have to be fed. I love it!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Motor will die, October 11, 2005
By 
A reader (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Compucable USB Mini Desktop Aquarium (Personal Computers)
I love this type gadget, and for the last few months it has kept me company at my desk. It is pretty neat to watch and is in a way soothing. I had one and its motor burned out. I got a second on, and for the last few months it has been running fine, but again, the motor burned out. I guesstimate the first one lasted about 300 hours and the second one lasted about 375 hours. I am unsure if I want to get a third. I am thinking of getting one and trying to run it 24/7 to see if this one burns out too after 300-400 hours. It is not like I abused it, nor was it running all the time, but I am disappointed in its quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fishing at my office, November 9, 2006

A cute little conversation piece. Other than a little annoying hum from the motor that drives the magnet, it is a fun little toy.
