Let me start by saying this Bubble Fish Lamp is way more fun than I expected! The bubbling motion and floating fish create such a calming atmosphere - it's like having a tiny piece of the ocean in your room.

The good stuff first: The color-changing LEDs are gorgeous, cycling through 7 different hues that make the water glow. My favorite is the deep blue setting - it really does feel like you're looking into a mini aquarium. The bubbles are hypnotic to watch, and the soft gurgling sound makes perfect white noise for relaxation or sleep.

Durability seems solid based on my month of use. Unlike some reviews mentioned, my fish actually do swim at different levels (maybe they fixed this in newer models?). Kids absolutely adore it - my niece will sit staring at it for what feels like hours.

Now for the not-so-perfect bits: You do have to fill it with water yourself, which felt a bit risky at first (no spills yet though!). The color cycle can't be paused on a specific shade, which would've been nice. Also, while most fish arrived intact, one did have a slightly bent fin - nothing major but worth checking when you unpack it.

Pro tip: This makes an amazing night light/nap time helper for kids' rooms (just place it somewhere stable). Adults love it too though - I keep mine on my work desk for stress relief during long Zoom calls. At parties? Total conversation starter!

Final verdict? 4.5/5 stars - loses half a point just for the water filling requirement. But if you want something uniquely soothing that doubles as cool decor, this bubble lamp delivers big time.
