AquaEl’s football aquarium stadium (soccer in the US) is almost perfect. The football aquarium has real hairgrass (Eleocharis sp.) grown into a field with neat white plastic grid delineating the boundaries of the playable area. Broad LED lights are mounted at just the right angle and give the soccer field of hairgrass a real stadium feel.

Orange platies and black swordtails also reinforce the notion that the differently colored fish are part of two different football (soccer) teams which are just moments away from playing ball. Now we just need some small silver dollars about to storm the field to start a brawl and AquaEl’s football stadium aquarium would be like a real European football (soccer) game.
