Modernminimalis.com - Home Decorating. Aquariums and bathrooms usually don’t go very well together. It’s a bit
ironic, considering that water is a common theme between both of them.
Well, even though bathroom aquariums are unorthodox, that hasn’t stopped
a lot of fish lovers from bringing their hobby into the washroom.

1. Poor Little Fish

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fish that makes me think about environmentalism more than this little goldfish. The way this clever aquarium works is that anybody who washes his hands causes the water to drain out of the bowl. The more water you use, the more water you suck out of the fish’s home. Using the sink forces a person to analyze his own wastefulness and consider the consequences of his actions. Hopefully, this tank will promote a responsible and green lifestyle.
2. Hydroglass

I’m not really sure what to make of this one. Basically, it’s a huge
fish tank with a shower on top. You lay face-down on the table, gaze
upon the fish, and then let the shower clean your backside. The idea
behind it, I think, is to replicate the feeling of swimming. The problem
with this device is that it’s trying to combine two things together in a
really bizarre way. It doesn’t really fulfill the same role as a
shower, because you can’t get a scrub-down while you’re lying on your
face. It also doesn’t do a very good job of replicating an aquatic life
because, well, you aren’t actually swimming. I think you’d be better off
taking a dip at a local lake and then taking a shower, rather than
trying to do both at the same time.
3. Aquarium Sink

Perfect for people who get bored senseless when they’re washing their hands, this oddball aquarium is part sink, part aquarium.
As cool as this aquarium is, I’d be more interested to know how things
look from the perspective of the fish. I suppose that they’d get to
experience a beautiful cascading waterfall every time you wash your
hands.
4. Miniature Fish Bathroom

When you build your personal aquarium, you can theme it around just
about anything imaginable. Sure, you could go for a classic rock and
reef structure for a salt water aquarium, or a serene plant aqua scape
for your fresh water aquarium, but just because everybody else does that
doesn’t mean that you have to do that, too. Take this aquarium for
example: this is what it your bathroom would look like if you plugged
your shower drain and let your tub completely overflow.
5. Fish Toilet

Of course, the first place to start with a bathroom aquarium is with a fish toilet.
These bizarre devices replace the water tank on the back of the commode
with a small aquarium. While these aquariums are visually reminiscent
of conventional toilets, they actually operate under a completely
different system. The toilet you’ve got in your home probably uses the
tank in the back to provide the water pressure needed to create a
swirling flush. These toilets (if they’re operational at all) will need
to use a different mechanism to provide the water pressure. Otherwise,
your first flush would send your beloved fish to a watery grave.
Dabney B said "I should point out that the aquarium doesn’t operate the way you’d
think. It’s impossible to completely drain the fish tank, and the water
will be replaced right after the sink is turned off. Also, all of you semaphores out there don’t have to worry about contaminated sink water.
The sink and the aquarium each has its own separate water tank to make
sure that the fish’s germs don’t get on your hands, and your hand soap
doesn’t poison the fish."
