In the streets of Taichung, Taiwan, inventor Jerry Huang is parading his latest masterpiece, a mobile aquarium.

Having observed proud pet owners exercising their cats, dogs and even snakes, lizards and spiders, Huang couldn't help contemplating the possibility of giving aquatic creatures a glimpse of life on land.

The innovator soon put his mind to it and after weeks of flirting with different designs, the goldfish stroller solution dawned on him, an idea which ultimately became a reality after cobbling together odds and ends that he found strewn around the place.

Huang plumped on goldfish due to their strong survival skills and then began piecing together the contraption.

The oddly futuristic-looking apparatus, which cost roughly $300 to $400 to construct, comprises a battery-operated filtration unit and an air pump on a trolley.

This is topped by a sizeable acrylic cylinder from which the fortunate fish watch the world go by.

The level of attention which the fishy gizmo's garnered has caught Huang unawares.

Whilst youngsters and adults are frequently left open-mouthed by the quirky tank as it trundles through the streets of the Taiwanese city, the fish themselves appear at ease.

Needless to say, these goldfish have an exceptional and ever-changing view of life on land from their miniature underwater world.
