About · Hong Kong
A small Hong Kong studio.A workplace that breathes.
Papi Fish brings smart, low-maintenance aquariums to Hong Kong workplaces — to reduce stress, sharpen focus, and quietly elevate the brand image of the floor they sit on. We combine a decade of aquatic expertise with workplace-wellness technology, so an aquarium on a desk is an amenity, not another thing to manage.
The approach
Three disciplines,one studio.
What looks like a single product — a planted tank — actually sits at the intersection of three crafts that rarely sit together. We hire for all of them.
- 01
Aquatic expertise
A decade of build-and-care experience, distilled into a low-maintenance technology stack that keeps a tank alive through long working weeks.
- 02
Workplace wellness technology
Quiet filtration, planted ecosystems, and gentle water sounds — packaged as a single weekly subscription a facilities team can hand over to us.
- 03
Hong Kong operations
Local design studio, local installation crews, and weekly service runs from Wong Chuk Hang — so the aquarium in your lobby is never on the other side of a timezone.
The founders
The people behind your aquarium.
Two founders, one shared thesis — that a well-built tank is the lowest-effort way to bring a biophilic interior into a working day. Allan builds them. Mack positions them.
