The Find: a condo unit for your pet fish
Despite construction issues and warnings about a bubble, the slew of condo towers popping up all over Toronto have some undeniable virtues: they’re sleek and modern, and they allow densely packed urbanites a modicum of privacy. These contemporary aquariums, designed by Torontonian Teddy Luong for Umbra, give the humble Siamese fighting fish a chance to experience that same brand of condo-dwelling life.
