Wow.

No, its worse then a bowl. The same size, just lots of bits of plastic in the way of any swimming room that was there.
 
That's sad.

All in all there's nothing wrong with the actual tank if you're keeping a few tiny little fish in it. It just seems like a shiny looking interesting thing that will get a kids attention for a little while and then just like any other toy the kid will tire of it. The parents that buy this type of thing for their kid probably won't even notice their kids wane in interest until the fish are dead and then they'll just take the tank down and forget about it.
 
ahhh the good ol vivo. We had these for sale at my store but the sales were so poor and we had so many returns, head office finally got the message and removed them from stock. The rep for Vivo came in once and took us aside to tell us how to push it; I point blank refused and said that I felt it was cruel and was outrageously over-priced. It does have a lil computer in there telling you when to feed, do a pwc and goes through loads of questions like "Do your fish look healthy?" However the rep did tell us it was aimed at parents more than kids because it has a checklist blah blah.
It has 3 diff options of set-up, Mermaid, Space station and another I can't remember... fact remains it is haneous. We had to have one set-up and the 2 lil fantails we had in there were soo miserable, they didn't have ant obstacley fun!!!!
Would never recommend it and I actually took great pleasure in smashing (an already broken one) to mush!! :)
