Floating See-Through Dome Lets Fish Look At The Outside World

ADVERTISEMENT

Dutch company Velda is changing how koi see the world with their revolutionary Floating Fish Dome. When placed in a pond and filled with water, the $200 (130£) device allows fish to swim up above the surface and see the world. It is also possible to train your koi to be fed inside so you can further admire them.

Koi are an ornamental variety of the domesticated common carp that were bred for color in Japan during the 1820s. Nishikigoi is the more technical term to refer to the fish; they live for an average of 25-35 years, although one famous scarlet koi named “Hanako” lived to 225.

Meh. They're coming up to get food pellets. Cute idea, but expensive.

Everyone, who sees something unknown, is initially frightened. Then he admires and learns. Fish - all beings - they are like us. And we are like other creatures

This is all based on lies. Who thinks that fish could not see through water, if they wanted to? If Koi were at all curious about the outside world, they would always be swimming close to the surface, which they do not. Besides, I read that the fish are trained to enter the bubble by feeding them there. Which just makes this a cheap trick.

So I presume they consulted the fish to ask if they actually cared about seeing above the surface. Oh yeah, water is transparent so they can see through it anyway. Clever thinking...
