Aside from being needlessly cruel (tank size aside, what about the vibrations from the speaker carrying into the water?), it would be kind of a drag to carry around.

The iPond - up to 15 times smaller than the recommended tank size for the fish it contains - is proving a hit with Christmas shoppers.

One Sydney store has sold out of the $70 device and other outlets are reporting brisk sales.

But the RSPCA has called on the device to be banned because it is too small to provide fish with adequate oxygen supplies and a clean environment.
