The unusual shape was created by artist Nicola L, and takes the traditionally designed fish tank in a new direction. Depending on where the fish is swimming, it can take the place of an ear or and eye (which is shown in the photo.) **Implications** - This tank is a great take on a [traditional design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-miami-2024), and would look great in any living room. Think how happy your fish would be too as they get a chance to actually make up part of the tank's design!
