    Aqueon has Released an Aquarium called the JukeBox 5.
    image.jpg
    The JukeBox 5 is a 5 Gallon Aquarium ment for Freshwater Fish and is made for you to play music from you MP3 or Smartphone. It has the two Speakers/Bubble Pillars that sit beside the tank. The confusing part is that the loud music coming from the speakers would stress out the fish which then leads to death. I think this would be a nice addition to my desk but I'm wondering if any of you have any info regarding how the tank works to keep the fish from being stressed out by the music.
    Here are some links.

    I wondered the same thing. I can't imagine it's enjoyable to be vibrated all the time but I used to do stereo competitions and hit 153db so I'm biased. Lol

    Can't say I've ever noticed my fish reacting at all to loud music. Perhaps it's partly due to the fact that the sound is being generated outside the tank, and therefore, the vibrations are minimal compared to those from skimmer, filter, and/or powerhead motors, to which they have become accustomed.

    The lack of sub will minimize the vibrations. There still will be vibrations from sound but they could build it in such a way that it would have minimal inpact on the fish...not sure how great the sound would be though.

    It's a cool idea but I can't find any reviews for it. It would be nice to see it in person but none of my local pet stores carry it. Wonder if fish enjoy David Bowie.

    Just like with corals and fish, everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I love alternative and pop-punk myself.
