  • I sold the tunnel tank... someone had to have it... the fish did go through after a while.. I removed the light.... I do not think the pressure was that intense as I would come in and turn on the light at night and they would all be sleeping in the tunnel.... it worked just fine.. thanks for all the comments... it was just an idea I had, so I built it

  • how did u get the water to stay in ?

  • aslong as both ends of the tunnel stay under water..it creates a seal.... the air is sucked out with a hose and the water fills the void... sorry if this is a repeate. comp crashed on first response

  • that super bright light above the tube probably doesn't encourage the fish to swim through

  • @quickcope fish dont sleep

  • THIS WAS UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY THATS RIGHT OCT 5 hehehe

  • Two reasons why fish won't swim through:

    1. The water pressure in the siphon tube is actually a strong negative pressure and physically stressful to the fish. There is about 3 pounds of water weight pulling down from each end of the tube. Its the human equivalent to being drawn and quartered by four horses.

    2. The intense lighting mentioned above is correct. But it doesn't matter, nothing will survive in there. Don't believe me? Try a water plant. It wil die.

  • MAYBE PUT THE FISH FOOD ONLY IN THE TUBE

  • Put the males in one side and the females in the other ;)

  • WOW how didf u get the water so clear?!???!?!?!

  • you need to buy a mini submarine r/c to play with this tunnel and aquarium.

    lol.

    congrats.

  • @biochemtaylor

    yeah, it may be heating the water up as well far too much

  • sup cope. was wondering if you still have the tunnel and if the fish like it now?
