Wanna hook up fish pond to your iPod? Then this might be for you. Pet stores in Australia have been selling a portable speaker with a built-in fish tank, designed to hook up to portable audio devices like the iPod. It is selling for 60$ and its currently drawing fire from animal rights groups for not providing adequate space for a fish to live. Meant for Betta fish (also known as Siamese fighting fish), the 650mm iPond has been said to be insufficient, since a single Betta fish requires around 10 liters of water to swim around and receive a proper amount of oxygen. Acoustics experts also say sound from the speaker, which is built into the bottom of the iPond, could transfer into the fish tank, bringing up another potential hazard. What else will people think of?
