40 feet below the sea, resting on the ocean floor of Fiji is the Poseidon Resort. Costing roughly around 15,000 dollars per person this hotel is one of a kind. Under water there are 24 ocean floor suites that have a 270 degree view of the sea. Also there is a wedding chapel and a spa!

Strange fish tanks

Have you ever imagined sleeping inside a fish tanks or washing your hands in a fish bowl? Well some people have imagined and made it come true! First we have the fishy toilet:

 

I thought you were supposed to flush fish down the toilet not sit on them! This fish tank toilet was designed by Fish n' Flush company. The tank is 2.5 gallons and is a separate piece from the actual toilet, if your worried you will flush your fish down the toilet! This fishy toilet costs around four hundred dollars. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it!

 

This outrageous house is equipped with two large aquariums located in the bedroom and the living room. The owner of this house is pro football player Chad Ochocinco, and his mansion is in Florida. The couch tank has three flat screen televisions plastered on the front, so when he is watching television he can watch his fish too! The bedroom tank was constructed to be able to watch the fish to fall asleep in a peaceful manner. I can't imagine what these tanks cost!

Welcome to "Fish Highway":

 

This "Fish Highway" was built in a cafe for customers to enjoy while they eat their food. This concoction has two separate tanks with one highway to connect them. When the fish want to move they start swimming upwards towards the flat tube, then they fall into the next tank where they stay for a while. This is a marvelous design for a fish aquarium.

This fish bowl sink is a water work of its own! As you can see there are two clear circles on either side which is the plug for the aquarium and also are soap dispensers! This tank is made with LED lights so the fish can see and you can see them. This tank may not look that expensive, but trust me it is! Priced at 6,000 dollars this beautiful tank is a one of a kind creation!
