Subscribe to PostsMe and Jessica recently stumbled upon a totally random idea for a toy for goldfish and also an ornament for an aquarium. They’re these growing gel balls. They’re made of super absorbent polymer that start out as small beads and slowly get bigger in water until they’re about marble sized. The fish seemed to love the balls right off the bat. They would swim in and out of them and burrow into them to find food at the bottom. It’s much more entertaining to have the fish now that they kind of have “something to do”. Plus the balls look really cool in the tank. They turn ghostly opaque in the water and all the different colors flowing around the tank looks pretty cool. I’ve been raising goldfish for about 10 years and I’ve never seen something so cool for them. I made a quick video and posted it on Youtube to spread the idea. Check it out.
**WARNING** -- IF YOU TRY THIS YOUR FISH MAY DIE!! All of my goldfish have died since posting this video, but not due to the gel balls. I just didn’t change the water often enough. If you try this and your fish DIE please don’t blame me. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!!
