<div dir="ltr">I'm gonna chime in with the "bad idea" crowd. Noisebridge is a doocracy with distributed responsibility for maintaining the space; that does not mesh well with the caring for of actual, living things, especially once the original person behind the project moves on to other things. Even if lots of people were to get involved and be willing to do simple tasks like feeding the fish, you're as likely to end up with overfeeding killing them as them starving to death. <div>
<br></div><div>Robot fish? fine. Living, breathing organisms with spines? not fine. I might be okay with someone raising animals outside of our own phylum where people aren't going to freak out if things die, but lets avoid sending vertebrates to their inevitable doom.</div>
