The Gumball Machine Fish Tank is just as it sounds, a gumball machine that has been converted into an aquarium. Playfully unique, it gives fishes a much more fun home than the typical square fish tank. A seemingly random idea from creator Amitai Loew, anyone can make his or her own Gumball Machine Fish Tank thanks to his generous online step-by-step guide.
