The World’s Smallest Aquarium Only Holds Two Teaspoons Of Water

The world’s smallest aquarium measures 30x24x14mm and holds only 10mL of water. For reference, 5mL is one teaspoon, so the aquarium can only hold two teaspoons worth of water. The tank was made by Anatoly Konenko, a Russian artist who makes his name in microminiature art. [Telegraph UK]

      Pretty sure I can actually see 5 fish and 5 small plants. That’s 10 visible organisms, imagine the amount that are too small for us to see, there must be 100s! That aquarium is teeming with life.

    Awesome, the meniscus is so visible around the rim at that size.
