The Avo is a self-cleaning fish tank designed by Susan Shelley of Noux.
A fish is probably the most low-maintenance pet you could own. They don't need to be walked or cuddled or entertained; all they ask is that you keep their tank clean and sprinkle a few fish flakes in there once a day. Simple enough. Yet the Avo makes being a fish-owner even easier than it already is by implementing a filtration system that creates an ecosystem of plants, fish and bacteria.
The tank, which has been without a cleaning for the past 18 months, features a discrete cleaner, plant pods and lights that change color. The project has surpassed its Kickstarter funding goal by over ten grand with 44 days to go.
