Consumers can now hook the latest must-have items. Aquavista UK™ www.aquavistauk.co.uk has just launched into the UK the world’s first customisable aquariums - living picture frames – whose appeal is that, unlike traditional fish-tanks, these are not only personalised with a background of the customer’s choice but are sleek, chic and easy to care for. These will help pet stores and aquatics specialists to attract a whole new target audience as these tanks appeal to first time buyers and those who want the ease and good looks of a product that resembles a flat-screen TV instead of a traditional aquarium.

Bringing life to art (and art to life) the range includes wall-mounted aquariums that offer a little tranquillity for any living space and its key selling point is that it can easily be personalised to match any decorative theme. These products have already made a big splash in the USA winning various trade awards including winning the Editors' Choice Award for Pet Product News International.

Aquavista UK’s, Raj Aulakh, says: “The concept of our company was built on the idea that everyone should be able to enjoy the relaxing benefits of owning their own aquarium, without the hassle usually associated with keeping fish. This range of products brings a new set of opportunities to the pet trade. Having just launched we are keen to speak with retailers who see the potential in stocking these”.

He added: “We see our products as the next step in interior design by adding life to art. We are all leading increasingly busy lives so the precious time we spend at home should be an indulgence where we can recharge and unwind in attractive surroundings. I often hear people saying they would love to own an aquarium if only tanks looked better and there was more time, space, knowledge and money to invest in one”.

The tanks offer built in technical wizardry to ensure low maintenance. With a range that includes everything from the 10 foot top-of-the-range touch-screen, self-feeding, self-cleaning Aquavista Panoramic down to the more modest desktop free-standing Aquavista 100, all the customer does is to add water and fish and, in the case of the wall-mounted versions, to hang them just like a painting.”     

Aquavista UK™ aquariums have been designed to allow for easy customisation of the frame and image backgrounds. You can choose from the extensive range of frame colours and designs as well as selecting a background to suit your interiors. Backgrounds can be chosen from Aquavista’s Art or by sending in the customer’s own images. Display these with your store message or logo to help explain the benefits.

The difference with Aquavista is that the wall-mounted products have an ingenious filtration and heating systems so customers can enjoy exotic fish with none of the mess, hard work, or tackling messy tanks.
