    Well after rushing off to buy a new kettle, the old one ended up on top of my tool cabinet.
    This is what happened to it!

    First remove the electrics

    thread the air hose and led light through

    By the way... In case you ever consider giving up coffee, let me explain the process…. You begin by sitting motionlessly in a desk chair…. Then you just keep doing that forever because life has no meaning!

    LOL, very entertaining. Does this qualify as a kettle of fish?
    Now put the fish back in the tank :)

    Put a siamese fighter in it, they don't require a lot of space.

    Dude this is so wrong! This is a common misconception. It will survive but not thrive.

    A couple of white clouds would do well in there! Wicked idea. Nice execution too.

    It's a neat little idea, but is there a filter? Otherwise, no offense, but in that case I see it as little more than an attractive (modernly stylish) fish carrier. :)

    Hello everyone. The idea to do this came while I was waiting for a guitar to dry after re-spraying it. (The kettle was on top of my tool cabinet.) The fish was only in the kettle for the photo and is happily residing in my outdoor tropical tank. Yes, the kettle has a filter, it's hidden inside the castle. NO... I won't be putting anything in without first making sure that it'll be happy. It holds 2L of water, so anything that can't be happy in 2L of water will not be going in there! I will more than likely put in one or two tiny shrimp if they're legal yet!

    If it's kept in a warmish area you might get away without a heater and put 3 or 4 Endler guppies in there???
