If you want a pet but don't think you have the time to look after it, the Robo-Fish will become your new best friend.
Despite having a reputation for being one of the most low-maintenance pets ever, fish require lots of regular feeding and cleaning. The Robo-Fish physically resembles different types of real-life tropical fish like Disney's Nemo, but it also mimics fish behavior. They'll play together and fight over food, just like live fish in a tank would, but without the hassle and responsibility. Plus, this means there aren't any high hydro fees for pumping and cleaning the tanks as well. The waterproof battery-powered sea creatures are perfect for people who want pets to come home to every now and again.
