BioBubble habitat is neat but not suitable for most marine fish

The BioBubble is an interesting and versatile animal habitat which is convertible between aquarium, terrarium, small pets and mini greenhouse. The BioBubble might be neat but they’ve clearly overestimated the capacity of the puny air driven filter and underestimated the needs of live marine fish.

Apparently, the makers or marketers of the BioBubble didn’t get the memo that nano tanks should be stocked with nano fish. As you can see in these screenshots from the promotional video for the BioBubble, the marketers are suggesting that you can cram a flame angelfish, six clownfish and an anthias into what appears to be about five to ten gallons of water. Another clip shows not one but two spotted sweetlips swimming in the BioBubble, nevermind that this delicate fish can grow to well over two feet long.
