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 i was wondering if you could tell me the price
thanx
Hi Alyssa,
If you click the Octopus Studios link at the top, then head to “ordering”, you’ll find their email address. They’ll be able to answer any questions you have.

I emailed them. We’ll see if I get a response.
kay thanx its an amazing tank i want it so bad and my mom said i could get it but i have to buy it my self
hi i just was email from the comany and they said it cost 2200 Euros and in canadian money that is $ 3,336.52 and thats not including shipping!
Wow! Thanks. I’ll update my post!
very cool, but $3000!!!
way to expensive i think you should lower the price
then you would get more bisness
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.
does the tank come with the fish
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.
wow, thats a very impressive fish tank!
wow what a tank how mwonderful t is to see somthing rather contemporary awww just imagiain the wonderful time all the fisf must have for them it must be christmas everyday awwww how induldently magnificent (BTW u do knw im bein sarcastic
Yes this looks like a wonderful set up…if you like your aquarium fish dead.
Everyone has their opinion on this custom fish tank.
how much is that in australian money?
3600 Australian dollars.
how much is this
omg thats alot of money.i’m going to get it when i’m older though, because i want to be a marine biologist when i’m older.I want to make this world a better place and make good money.
thomas: $3300 U.S.
morgan: by then you’ll be building your own custom aquarium
dood how did you come across a tank like that???????????
It looks like an amazing tank, My question is, does it come with a custom fish net if a fish dies out of reach?
When a fish dies it rises to the top to u can get it out.
How on earth do you clean that
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.
Good point Ben. I don’t know.
3,000? Ripoff city. If your fish died in the bottom it would be stuck there. That’s retarded ridiculous.
