Man Spends £20,000 Turning House Into Giant Aquarium - LADbible

A man has turned his house into a giant aquarium and says he could watch his pet fish 'for hours', which is handy because he has no TV.

Jack Heathcote, 47, has completely transformed his house with a network of nine super-sized tanks, including one in his cellar that is 7ft deep.

Jack doesn't own a TV because he'd much rather watch his fish swimming about.

He said: "I can watch them for hours interacting with each other. It's very relaxing."

Jack, a landlord, says he first became interested in fish when he was 10 and he visited an aquarium in Blackpool, coming home with a pet goldfish.

Fast-forward 37 years and Jack has forked out a whopping £20,000 to convert his Nottingham home.

Jack used three walls of his cellar to create a 14ft by 12ft tank that's 7ft deep and holds 4,800 gallons of water.

The huge tank is home to 50 perch, rudd and tench, caught in a canal, and four huge mirror carp.

There are two more tanks in the cellar, as well as others in the living room, hallway and shed.

Upstairs, there are a couple of tanks in Jack's bedroom, connected by a tunnel.

And Jack is absolutely delighted with his unusual home and pets.

He said: "They're not like other animals because they are always on the move.

"My friends think they are great. They often join me on the sofa to watch them, like other people would watch TV."

The Katsugyo bag, from MA Corporation, is actually designed to let people show off their expensive market-bought fish as they take it home.

But if you're a big fish lover like Jack and you want to show your beloved pet goldfish a bit of the world, then you can do that, too.

The company explains: "It is divided into two units of the body, and when you put in fish, you can remove the aquarium, store the fish, then connect it to the main body and turn on the power.

"You can carry the fish, so it is relatively easy to use. Oxygen supply and water temperature maintenance are possible."

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
