One Of A Kind Fish Float Aquarium - Tiki Marketplace

It hung from the ceiling over the kitchen island, and he braided the cord to very carefully hide the aerator tube that came down from the attic. I suppose I should say he made TWO of them, as when I was in 6th grade my best friend was shooting through the kitchen on a skateboard, and the toy rifle he was holding (don't ask) went right through the tank. Disaster! We totally panicked. Did I mention this was during a rare "Lets see if you boys are responsible to be left at home alone" test? The only good news is that I managed to save the fish. Dad rigged up another one, and it is in their kitchen to this day. Every xmas mom puts a little glass Christmas tree in the tank with neat-o individual glass ornaments. Since we don't get snow out here, the glass tree in the bowl was always a sign that winter had arrived! Henrik "VanTiki"
