JUWEL Rio 125

125 litres · 81 × 36 × 50 cm

The Rio 125 is where thousands of fishkeeping journeys begin, and for good reason. At 81 cm wide it carries genuine presence without demanding a dedicated wall, and its 125 litres hold a stable, forgiving environment for a thriving tropical community. Lighting, filtration and heating are already inside and already matched — you provide the gravel, the plants and the imagination.
