Custom Fish Tank - Silverfish Aquarium

Want to get a lot of “wow’s!” from friends. Check out this custom fish tank from Octopus Studios. It’s called the Silverfish Aquarium, and comes as a kit which will turn into a fully functional fish tank. The kit components include the following:

‘The Aquarium Structure

The Aquarium Stand

Filtration & Heating Parts
Eheim Professional2 external filter & filterset media
Undergravel filter plates x3
Hydor external heater
Filter tubing

All taps/clips/suckers required for assembly

This custom fish tank has about a 60 gallon capacity, and would make a great tropical freshwater aquarium. It’s about 3.3 feet or a metre cubed. The fish tank stand measures 1.1 metres in length, and stands 0.9 of a metre tall. It comes standard in three colors; black, cherry brown, and carbon fibre. They will allow you to choose from over 30 other textures and colors if desired. Truly custom!

Octopus Studios is based on the Cote d’Azur, France, and delivers their custom fish tank kits worldwide. Looks like a fun tank!

Update! A reader, Alyssa, and myself both emailed the company for a price quote. Currently the aquarium’s cost is 2200 Euros, with a shipping charge of 350 Euros to the States. That’s about $3000 U.S.

Hi Meg!

I thought it was a little spendy too. I’m gonna keep a look out for more unique aquariums, hopefully lower in price.

yeah looks ‘cool’ but doesnt actually look too suitable for any living fish to me.. surface area to water volume ratio doesnt seem to be high enough… does anyone that designed this contraption actually keep fish or were they just hoping to make some money of unsuspecting rich people without a clue?? and what are people supposed to do about getting dead fish out when they sink to the bottom?? some crucial points dont seem to have been considered in creating this water holding ornament. just because it holds water does not make it a suitable to be an aquarium…

Hey Eric… No fish are included.

Miss Goody… I haven’t seen the aquarium in person. You raise some good questions. I would guess there’s got to be a suitable way to remove dead fish. You could email them at their website if you’re curious.

It looks like an amazing tank, My question is, does it come with a custom fish net if a fish dies out of reach?

The price for the Silverfish is around $3,400. I was wondering, for that price is it glass or a cheap plastic? I would only assume glass because of the price but i’m not sure.
