Living Art piece: An Aquarium in a Frame To Hang in Your Home



An interesting idea: if you like tropical fish but not the bulky aquariums that go with them, consider the AquaVista 500 which hangs on the wall like a picture. “It’s a living art piece,” says Scott Yen, the president of AquaVista Enterprise Inc., the Menlo Park, Calif., company that makes the aquarium. “We’re giving you the canvas, and your fish are the art.” The aquarium is made of a 4.3-inch-thick, 26-inch-square shatterproof acrylic and injection-molded plastic. The pump and filtration system are concealed inside. All you see are the fish in their environment, against a background chosen from eight options, including midnight black and deep blue. The aquarium comes with a black or silver frame; a wood frame is available, too.
