Worst idea ever. Not only cruel but trying way too hard to show your friends just how unique and interesting you are. Those containers do not provide goldfish with enough surface area to get enough oxygen into the water to keep them alive. Not only will have a stupid prop in your apartment but you will actually be suffocating two living things to death. Is that really worth the attention you will receive from your friends?

Last week I too had to say goodbye to my goldfish. Moby was from a carnival ping pong ball toss. This fish was really special to us and its difficult to say why exactly but after a year he got sick and suffered for days till he finally gave up. Moby was burried in the sand under a climbing Hydrangea. Last night I had a dream that I put his lifeless body back in the tank and he came back to life.

I know someone who does reverse painted glass backsplashes and furniture. There is a process to get it right. It's important to use optically clear glass for a true color match. Regular glass doesn't look the same and will look murky. The glass needs to be super clean and free of any trace of oils and a spray application is key.
Mica powders in the paint give a metallic shimmer that can be beautiful but even straight white is beautiful with its milk glass look. This guy does an all glass dining table with this process that is amazing.
It sounds easy but you should have a professional create and install this kind of wall treatment.
