World's smallest aquarium (Photos and Video)
23.9.2011

Created by Russian artist Anatoly Konenko, who specialises in miniatures, the tiny tank is made of glass, contains tiny stones and plants and is home to a group of tiny fish. It is just 30mm wide, 24mm high and 14 mm deep - enough to hold just 10ml of water, or about two tablespoons' worth. The water has to be applied using a syringe so as not to disturb the landscape the Siberia-artist lovingly created. Konenko, who calls his art 'micro-miniatures', even made a minuscule fishing net which he used to place the fish, baby Danios. The adults are usually a favourite with more normal sized tanks but the tiny fish look at home in Konenko's construction for which he has since added a specially built air pump.
Konenko is also a painter and is in the Guinness World Records book for making the world's smallest book.
