Fish Folk Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 If your mind fires off in random connections, this will make sense. Sometimes fish remind me of scenes from movies. Share if you've got some. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanked Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 At feeding time the Tinfoil Barbs can recreate a scene from any of the Piranha series of movies. I've recently discovered that when spooked, in addition to their jumping ability, they can batter down the tank partition. I guess they might also qualify for a role in Mega Piranha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Someplace on the Forum last year, I thought someone had started a thread about aquariums in movies. Was just rewatching “The Love Bug” (1968) and noticed a funny Goldfish tank scene… I have a theory that maybe this tank was made from an old gravity glass / visible gas pump. Or perhaps some oddball glass cylinder attached to an antique car. Edited December 15, 2021 by Fish Folk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenman Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It seemed for a while that everyone was trying to create more oddly shaped fish tanks. There are still some available. You could buy a toilet tank fish tank that would house fish in a tank within the clear toilet tank or inside a clear bathroom sink. All kinds of wall hung aquariums were around. Bettas in bowls hanging from macrame hangers were popular for a while. If there was a way to build something to hold water, someone would put fish in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing the “toilet tank” on a video of the Wessel house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Yep . . . found another movie aquarium sighting. Producers must think these tall aquariums work. They're generally terrible. Not sure why I'm watching this movie, but finding a fish tank is a plus!

drewzero1 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'd be interested to see it from the other side, since it kind of looks like it extends farther back. Either way I have to imagine a tank like that is a real pain to keep clean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not really sure how you’d get into it to feed or maintenance. The _only_ time we ever made a tall tank work effectively for us was as a BNP Growout.

drewzero1 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I just re-watched Feed the Fish which is a pretty good movie, except for the gratuitous use of fishbowls and scenes in which goldfish are flushed (off screen) and frozen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
