One man has turned his house into a giant aquarium and says he can watch his pet fish ‘for hours’, which is handy since he doesn’t have a TV.
Jack Heathcote, 47, has completely transformed his home with a network of nine super-sized aquariums, including one located in a cellar, 2.1 meters deep.

Jack doesn’t own a TV because he likes to watch his school of fish swim. He said: “I could watch my fish swim for hours. It was so relaxing.” Jack said, the first time he was interested in fish was when he was 10 years old. His parents took him to visit an aquarium in Blackpool and came home with a goldfish. This man turned the house into a giant aquarium. After 37 years, Jack decided to spend £20,000 to convert his house in Nottingham into a giant aquarium. Jack used three walls of the cellar to create a 4.2 meter x 3.6 meter tank, 2.1 meters deep and holds 18 cubic meters of water. The giant aquarium is home to 50 assorted fish caught in a canal, and four giant mirror carp. There are two more tanks in the cellar, as well as other tanks in the living room, hallway, and shed. Upstairs, there are several tanks in Jack’s bedroom connected by a tunnel. Jack is extremely interested in his unusual house and pets. “They’re not like other animals because they’re always on the go,” he said. My friends also think the fish is great. They used to sit with me on the sofa to watch them, just like other people would watch TV.” Meanwhile, a Japanese company has created a portable aquarium – so Jack can go out and play with his favorite fish, if he likes. Accordingly, a company in Japan has created a bag that resembles a container of raw fish suitable for both pet owners who want to take their favorite fish for a walk and sashimi fans. super fresh… Known as the ‘katsugyo bag’, the portable aquarium is shaped like a long tube with a transparent center, handles, and a gauge that monitors oxygen levels in the water. If you are a big fish lover like Jack and you want to show your beloved pet fish a little bit of the outside world, you can too. The company explains that: “You can take the fish away so it’s relatively easy to use. It can provide oxygen and maintain the water temperature the whole time you’re out.” Transparent design, the fish bag is really helpful to calm the fish’s anxiety, provide the fish with a safe, breathable and comfortable environment, suitable for small or medium fish.
