First off, this lamp is pure nostalgia! The moment I plugged it in, I was transported back to my childhood bedroom, staring at those 'swimming' fish for hours. The rotating scenes with tropical fish and coral reefs are surprisingly realistic—no water required!

I use it as a nightlight in my home office, and the gentle glow + rhythmic motion instantly chills me out during stressful workdays. My cat is OBSESSED—she paws at the 'fish' like it’s her personal aquarium (minus the mess!).

Some honest notes: The fish do move in a predictable loop (about every 30 seconds), and while the speed didn’t bother me, my niece said she wished they’d 'swim slower like real fish.' There’s a faint whirring sound, but it’s quieter than my desk fan.

For $30? Totally worth it. Zero maintenance, durable build, and way more entertaining than a basic nightlight. Pro tip: Skip this if you want hyper-realistic randomness, but grab it for a fun, low-key decor piece that sparks joy (and 90s throwback vibes!).
