CTR Review

The Aquabot Seahorse features "smart fish technology" and is powered by electro-magnetic propulsion. It uses its curly rubber tail and back fin to swim and bounce around inside any fish tank. To turn on your Seahorse, you simply drop it in water to activate its automatic on and off sensor. After several minutes of swimming, it will go into sleep mode to save battery life. You can wake your Seahorse in three ways: run your fingers through the water; touch the Seahorse; or simply tap the side of your tank. In addition, you can adjust the Aquabot's buoyancy to allow it to dive deeper (using adjustable weights in the battery door) and give your pet customized swimming patterns. Available in five translucent colors; 2 button cell batteries are included. Compliant with CPSIA standards. See also HEXBUG Aquabot Remote Control Angelfish and HEXBUG Aquabot Jellyfish.
