Fish from the sea can come into the tube to escape from predators and there is fresh water in the tubes and because of the fresh water the coral can stay alive.

Wow Teddy what a great idea to protect the ocean! The fish can now have a safe space to hide and live with the help of your invention. Your invention also protects the corals from harm, which is so important for our planet! You've thought about the fish and their homes, protecting both! I wonder what the fish will get up to in their new safe home. I love the colourful drawings and the detail. Keep inventing Teddy!

Here is the final design for Teddy's Fish Tubes!

Keeping the fish safe from predators and giving them a place to swim in peace is lovely. I love that you thought about the coral too. It is such an important part of the marine ecosystem.

Thank you for sending in your invention Teddy. I've loved working on this invention and think the idea behind this is wonderful.

This little fishy was the most important fish in the tube. It was going to be right in the centre and get lots of attention! I painted it carefully and added some little bubbles to float around as it swam through the protection tubes.
