Animal lovers are flush with anger after a Chinese restaurant filled its toilets with ornamental fish, it has emerged.
The Eastern Asian Economic and Trade Daily reports that a restaurant in Changchun city has housed around 20 of the aquatic creatures in a four-metre urinal trough in the gents' toilets, according to Ananova.
"Please urinate here", a sign above the trough invites guests.
The installation has been attacked for being "disrespectful" to the country's love of fish keeping.
However, the restaurant has defended its unique toilets, hinting the fish not need pet health insurance and claiming that the mix of water and urine does not harm the fish.
"The water is running, and each day we change the water at least twice and add oxygen into the water. It's not much different to a fish tank," a spokesman for the restaurant said.
A diner told the publication he would keep eating at the restaurant, just to experience the toilets again.
Goldfish have been selectively bred in China since 400AD, according to thegoldfishbowl.co.uk, although the website does not reveal which species are more at home in urine.
