Gumball Machine
How can I get air into my gumball machine fishtank if the top is closed?
I am building a gumball machine fish tank – or rather, have purchased a vintage gumball machine and will be sealing the hole so it can house a fish. Since there will be a top on it, will it be bad for the fish and will the fish not be able to breathe (even if I give it like an inch of air?)?
It’s not a very good idea to try and build Your Own gumball fish tank. However, I had a friend who bought a fish tank specially designed to look like a gumball machine.
I personally don’t approved because of the cramped space, which limits filter and heater capabilities like one of the people above me said, but if you absolutely MUST have a fish in a gumball machine, try to get a pre-made one that’s been designed for fish use.
