Japan’s Frozen Aquarium

Japan’s Kori no Suizokukan, located in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture houses a collection of 450 specimens of 80 or so different species of marine wildlife captured at a nearby port. But there’s one major difference that separates this aquarium from any other — all of the wildlife is frozen in massive blocks of ice. A flash freezing technique is used to keep the specimens in optimal conditions at all times. Spectators are limited to only a few minutes of viewing because... Continue reading

Fish Tank Toilet

I did a little research and as it turns out, goldfish do have a sense of smell. That’s how blind fish can find food rather easily. I feel terrible for these fish. Especially if they’re owner happens to be a frequenter of Taco Bell. The Fish Tank Toilet is cool and convenient for several reasons. First off, it’s just really chill to be able to scope out the floating fishes while you’re dropping a load. Second, if you need a quick snack,... Continue reading

Koi Ice Cubes Soothe Your Soul as They Cool Your Beverage

I thought there was nothing more relaxing than watching Koi fish swim around in their pond, that was until I learned how soothing Koi can be when they’re melting into a puddle of liquid. These Cold Fish Koi Ice Cube mold from Perpetual Kid allows you to freeze eight Koi-shaped ice shapes and let them float around in your beverage of choice until they melt into oblivion. It’s so much more convenient than owning your own pond. Link

The Natural Hierarchy of Fish

Come on! It’s Swedish fish. Yum, yum. There’s nothing more sacrilicious than Swedish fish. Ok, Ok, well maybe Jesus beef jerky.

Stuck Goldfish Bath Plug

This is what I imagine would happen if your Goldfish died from obesity and got stuck as you tried to flush it town the shower drain. Stuck like Winnie the Pooh’s fat ass in his window. Stuck like my junk in a beer bottle. Don’t ask, please. And please, let me just assure you, this appears to be much more comfortable to use than the fishy butt plug. At least that’s what I hear. *wink* *wink*

Found: Fish with Human Teeth (Update: Species Found!)

Update: It appears this species of fish is known as a Sheepshead. Google Images has more pics of  this incredible and bizarre creature. (Thanks commenter Matt for this discovery!) Still yet to be identified, this unknown species of fish appears to have humanoid-like teeth. And apparently they also have great dental coverage. I’ve seen worse looking teeth on humans who brush daily. Check out some more photographic evidence after the jump. What’s your call on this one? Real? Fake? Shopped?... Continue reading

XL Wall Mounted Aquarium

Anyone can waltz into the nearest Circuit City Best Buy, purchase a 42-inch LCD TV and hang it on their wall, but where’s the fun in that? If you’ve got a summer home of some sort, ditch the TV in favor of socializing and pick up the 21 gallon XL Wall Aquarium. At $1500, it costs as much as a television set and holds a hell of a lot more fish. It’ll look sleek as hell above a bar, fireplace... Continue reading

Thanko Very Much: USB Heated Mousepad

What better way to warm that right hand up? Plug in this cute, blue fish from Thanko and let ‘er rip. Just keep your hand inside while you use the mouse and you’ll be hotter than Sarah Palin. Of course, there’s a good chance you’ll get skin cancer or a weird rash from it but who’s counting? $22 and the ability to fistfuck a plush fish. Link [via]

Fish Flops Perfect For The Beach

At first, I thought these shoes were the product of a hipster who had some cardboard, old sandals and a lot of free time. Upon closer inspection, however, I discovered that these are indeed real fish that are dead and wearable. It’s quite gross but I’m sure they’d work fine outdoors on a beach. And by fine I mean the scales will fuck your feet up. Link

DIY Crab Pots

If you’ve ever seen Deadliest Catch, you know crabbing is no bullshit. Raw, powerful and extremely itchy, crabs are ready to claw your nose off before they make it to a pot full of boiling water. If you buy crabs from the market, that’s great and all. But what about catching your own? Kevin Kelly posts these DIY crab pots made from milk crates and plastic wastebaskets. Crabs travel through the maze and get caught inside. They lose, you win.... Continue reading
