Smallest aquarium: Stanislav Konenko and Anatoly Konenko sets world record (HD Video)
OMSK,
Russia --Stanislav Konenko and Anatoly Konenko, 57, from Omsk, in
Russia had created a fish tank measuring 30mm in width, 24mm high and
14mm deep and can hold 10ml of water - the equivalent of two teaspoons ,
setting the world record for the Smallest working aquarium.
The Guinness world record for the largest fish market was set by
Tsukiji, part of the Tokyo Central market, Tokyo, Japan which imports
over 450 varieties of marine products from 60 different countries.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most
people gutting fish simultaneously: 1,000 - achieved by the people of
Santoña, in Cantabria, Spain.
The World's Smallest
Aquarium still contains plants and stones and is the home of some tiny
zebra fish, which were added to it using a miniature net.
A syringe had to be used to fill it up with water to avoid disturbing the arrangement.
In 1996, Anatoly Konenko entered the Guinness World Records after
making the world's tiniest ever book, a copy of Chameleon by Anton
Chekhov that is smaller than a five pence coin.
"The
tank was made out of curiosity," Mr Koneko explained. "It is the world's
smallest fish tank and holds only 10 ml of water.
"For reference, 5 ml is one teaspoon, so the aquarium can only hold two teaspoons worth of water."
He began developing miniature artwork in 1981 and can write on human hairs, grains of rice and poppy seeds.
Mr Konenko has also made an incredibly detailed ship in a bottle, which
stands at just 0.25 mm high, and a pair of shoes smaller than a
matchstick.
