The Mechanical Aquarium, the first UGears model without a rubber band!

The Mechanical Aquarium by Ugears is an ingenious saltwater fish bowl, with two tropical fish chasing each other around a forest of algae leaves, within which hides a seahorse! The beauty and variety of keeping saltwater fish makes it one of the world’s most popular hobbies.

Not only is this DIY aquarium model kit, with its original theme and design, a great addition to the Ugears catalog, but it also features a unique mechanical drive. The fish and algae rotate simultaneously and in parallel, at different speeds, in different directions, simulating the smooth undulating rhythms of underwater plant and animal life. The elegant fish look like they are really swimming as they move their heads and tails back and forth. The mechanical aquarium model is unique in that while many Ugears models are powered by rubber band motors, it is now powered by a spring for longer operation and longevity. At Ugears, we pride ourselves on our innovation and listening to our loyal customers, many of whom have asked for spring powered models. We are proud to offer you this aquarium with summer action – a first in our growing catalog of Ugears models!
