Elegance and liveliness

In the fascinating world of aquarium hobby, the minimalist open discus aquarium stands out for its refined simplicity and the liveliness of its inhabitants: the fire red discus. This type of aquarium, with its clean and minimalist design, allows discus to shine in their full beauty and capture the attention of anyone who lays eyes on them.

The project

Clean lines and minimalist approach

If we think of an aquarium, we usually imagine coral reefs, hyper-colorful fish and anemones. The mix of colors and marine creatures can also be reproduced in freshwater aquariums, we are talking about tanks that reproduce ecosystems that characterize the great rivers of the Earth. This discus aquarium over three meters long is an example of this.

The aquarium is positioned in a corridor that divides the living area from the sleeping area. The custom-made extra-clear glass tub rests on a white wooden piece of furniture that fits into the context of the home, recalling the colors of the doors and skirting boards, closing the whole thing with a wonderful resin floor.

The internal setup of this aquarium is minimal: river sand, gray rocks with white veins (Seiryu stones ADA) and 3 imposing pieces of wood that offer shelter to the fish, giving an amber color to the water in the tank.

The aquarium of approximately 1400 liters hosts 30 Solid Red Discus, 300 Hemmigrammus Rhodostomus and 3 Coridoras Sterbai and is managed with a control computer that constantly monitors the parameters and allows complete remote management.

After about 2 years from the setup, the discus fish inserted have matured a bright fiery red color, the first pairs have formed which regularly lay their eggs, giving hope for a start of reproduction in the aquarium.

The discus fish with its elegance stands out inside this custom-made tank, except for the need to feed them manually several times a day, this type of internal layout is rather simple to manage.

The minimal furnishings, the splash of color of the fish and their calm swimming make this aquarium truly unique.
