Multi-tasking toilet puts pets in the bathroom

Fishing for the perfect place to put an aquarium? Look no further than the bathroom, a U.S. company suggests.
The Fish 'n Flush, developed by AquaOne Technologies, swaps a typical toilet tank with another unit surrounded by a see-through, acrylic aquarium.
"We wanted to develop a product that had a dual purpose — to serve as a proper, fully functional toilet and also as a source of entertainment and conversation," Devon Niccole, AquaOne's marketing director, told the news agency Reuters.
The company has begun selling the units, which are sold with pumps, filters and artificial plants, across the U.S. for about $299 US. The removable aquarium can be easily pulled from the toilet for cleaning, the company said.
