Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] A flower pot filled with granular foam made by expanding clay particles at a high temperature is arranged above the water tank, and a pump for pumping fresh water from the water tank is provided, and the fresh water pumped by the pump is filtered. An ornamental device designed to be supplied to a flowerpot through a material and then dropped into the water tank for reflux. [Effect] The ornamental device of the present invention has the flowerpot 5 on the upper part of the aquarium 1.
Since it has been set up, you can see the fish and plants under the plants on the shore in a state close to nature as if you were watching the playing fish.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an ornamental device capable of simultaneously growing and ornamenting freshwater fish, particularly tropical fish, and ornamental plants, especially ornamental plants.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there is no known ornamental device capable of simultaneously growing and ornamenting freshwater fish, especially tropical fish, and ornamental plants, especially ornamental plants. Therefore, in the past, if one wanted to view both freshwater fish and plants, there was no way to view them side by side, and there was no way of seeing the fish as if they were swimming under the plants. It took time and effort to train them separately.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an ornamental device capable of simultaneously raising and watching freshwater fish and plants.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, according to the present invention, a flowerpot filled with granular foam made by expanding clay particles at a high temperature is arranged in the upper part of a water tank, and a pump for pumping fresh water from the water tank is provided, and the fresh water pumped by the pump is used as a filter medium. After the above, the gist of the ornamental device is to supply it to the flower pot and then drop it back into the water tank.

An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawing is a perspective view thereof, and reference numeral 1 indicates an aquarium in which tropical fish 2 are bred. A box 3 is provided in front of the upper part of the aquarium 1, and a flowerpot 5 filled with a granular foam 4 in which clay particles are foamed at a high temperature is placed inside the box 3. Ornamental plants 15 are planted in 4. A pump 6 is mounted on one side of the box body 3, and water sucked from a suction port 7 of the pump body 6 is discharged into a filter tank 10 filled with a filter material 9 by a pipe 8, and the water is sucked by the filter material 9. The filtered water is returned to the inside of the box 3 through the small holes 11 formed in the partition plate, wet the lower part of the flower pot 5, and hence the lower part of the granular foam 4 filled in the flower pot 5, and then the box 3 It is designed to flow down and flow back into the water tank 1 through a small hole 12 formed in the bottom of the tank. That is, the water in the water tank 1 circulates through the pump 6, the pipe 8, the filtration tank 10, the small hole 11, the box body 3 and the small hole 12 to simultaneously grow tropical fish and ornamental plants. A fluorescent lamp 13 is installed below the filter tank 10 to illuminate the water tank 1 from the upper rear side. Reference numeral 14 indicates a lid of the filtration tank.

[Effect of device]

In the ornamental device of the present invention, since the flowerpot 5 is provided on the upper part of the aquarium 1, the fish and the plants can be viewed in a state close to the nature as if the fish to be played are seen under the plant on the shore. Since the water in the water tank 1 circulates in the flower pot 5 and the filter tank 10 as described above, fish and plants can be always grown with clean water, and the plants do not die by forgetting to pour water. However, since the flower pot 5 is filled with the granular foam 4 in which clay particles are foamed at a high temperature as described above, the water for washing the lower granular foam 4 is appropriately sucked up and the upper granular It wets the foam, so it doesn't spoil the roots of the plant with water or dry it and kill it. Also, foliage plants, which are weak in winter, irrigate with relatively high temperature water kept at the growing temperature of tropical fish, so that the growth of plants can be promoted.
