Our Origin Story
What happens when a Betta fish watches a shark attack?
Years ago, AquaVid’s inventor, Patrick McAllister, received a Betta fish as a gift. One day, he placed the bowl in front of a TV playing When Sharks Attack. To his surprise, the fish perked up, flared its fins, and locked eyes with the screen.
That moment sparked a question: Can fish benefit from visual stimulation?
And that question launched a new frontier in aquarium design.
Today, backed by a U.S. patent and years of hardware innovation, AquaVid is transforming fishkeeping into an interactive, intelligent experience – for homes, lobbies, galleries, and public aquariums alike.
