In addition to water, fish need air, and several of those tanks would cut off the air-supply. I suppose if you were changing the water very regularly, you could get away with it for a while, or if the plant (in that particular instance) was a highly oxygen-producing one, you could perhaps entrap the entire thing in a bubble; eco-dome like. Just don't forget to feed them, and top up the water occasionally. Lovely to look at, but many of them are highly impractical in actual application, sadly.

Really, people? I understand your concern for the fish, I've got my own as well, but these are pieces! Even if you find them pretentious or preachy or just stupid, this man put effort into them. They're his ART. ART. I've seen pictures of people with fishing line wrapped tightly around their bodies, but that doesn't mean they're advocating it as a way of living! It's ART. The artist himself said he was exploring ways of solving solutions... you may not see what he was going at, but he did. And others do too! Can we let it be known that these are works of art?

They are tropical fish from Thailand and require heat. Beautiful designs – horrid tanks

I really want to know what do they think about your sado-artistic fantasies...
