 There's not too much going on in my cubicle: a photo frame, vase with plastic flowers, USB-powered glitter lamp, random doodads from trade shows, and a DriveSavers calendar. I'd love to dress it up with this AquaVista 100 Desktop Aquarium. (No relation to Microsoft, of course.) This space-saving tabletop 2.4-gallon aquarium resembles a flat-screen LCD monitor, complete with LED overhead lighting, filtering system, air pump, underwater background, gravel, and stand. It has 180 square-inches of viewing area and room for up to six fish. The casing is made from shatterproof plastic, and the aquarium plugs into any AC outlet. Swim on over to SmartHome.com to get it for $149.99.

I have to wonder if someone was sitting at their desk looking at a screensaver of fish swimming around and thought, "you know what would really rock? if there was an aquarium that looked just like an LCD panel with a screensaver, but instead there were actual fish!"

I want one for my desk, but the picture depicts way too many fish for a 2-4 gallon aquarium. I see two goldfish (4 gallons is way too small for even one goldfish, which can grow up to 15" or more), a guppy, a couple of platies, and some other fish that I can't identify because the picture is too small. General rule of thumb for an aquarium is one inch of fish per gallon, so a 4 gallon aquarium can hold one 4" fish, two 2" fish, or four 1" fish.
Sorry, I am an aquarium keeper, and it bothers me to see overstocked tanks, or large fish in small tanks, etc. Putting a goldfish in a 4 gallon aquarium is like getting a kitten and keeping it in a pet carrier 24/7.

OK, but I think that the fish should have an LCD monitor with people walking around on it... :)
And how about an LCD monitor with more fish behind the tank. Then you could every so often have a shark come by and scare the s*** out of the little guppies... =O
