Pet Project

Fleur Ecosystem

Some things are better in theory. A third chocolate martini. One size fits all. Owning a pet.

Suuuuure you’re gonna walk, train, and feed it. We’re holding our breath.

A more realistic plan? Fleur’s ecosystems, which give all the warm-and-fuzzies associated with being a pet owner without any of the responsibility.

The ecosystems are self-contained (read: minimal maintenance) fish bowls. Stones, fresh water, and a betta fish go into a glass vase. Peace lilies go on top. The roots feed the fish; fish droppings fertilize the plant. Nature’s neat genius in action.

All you have to do is change the water every two weeks and clip brown leaves.

Too bad all of your relationships aren’t this easy.


Fleur, 3149 West Logan Boulevard, at North Milwaukee Avenue (773-395-2770 or fleurchicago.com).
