In the world of smart homes, where technology strives to free humans from routine tasks, Xiaomi has introduced another solution aimed at simplifying the lives of aquarium enthusiasts. The company has announced a new product — the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Fish Tank 2 Pro. This device is positioned as the ideal solution for those who dream of having a living corner in their apartment but are not ready to spend hours on complex fish care and water cleaning. The novelty is the result of the evolution of previous models, receiving a number of critically important improvements in filtration and automation systems.

Revolution in Water Purification: U-Shaped Channel and Multi-Stage Filtration

The main engineering achievement of the new model is the improved water circulation system. Unlike standard solutions where water simply passes through a sponge, in the Mijia Smart Fish Tank 2 Pro, the flow passes through several stages of deep purification. The key element here is the biological filter with a unique U-shaped channel. This design allows water to stay in contact with colonies of beneficial bacteria for longer, which is critical for maintaining the nitrogen cycle and the health of the aquarium inhabitants. Multi-layer filters effectively trap food residues and solid waste, minimizing the need for frequent mechanical cleaning.

Full Automation and Integration with the Mi Home Ecosystem

Aquarium management has been taken to the "smart home" level. The device is equipped with an automatic feeder that can operate in both manual and fully automatic modes. Users can feed fish remotely, set feeding schedules, and control the pump via the Mi Home app. Additionally, the system supports voice control via the Xiao Ai assistant. An important safety feature is the lid opening sensor: if someone tries to remove the top panel, the equipment automatically turns off, preventing accidental injuries or water getting onto the electronics.

Technical Specifications and Display

The visual part of the device has also been updated. A 1.47-inch LCD display is located on the top panel of the aquarium, which displays key environmental parameters in real-time, such as water temperature (e.g., 25.6°C) and illumination level. This allows the owner to instantly assess the state of the ecosystem without needing to launch the app. The aquarium is made in a modern minimalist design that easily fits into any interior, and the built-in lighting creates a "living light" effect, highlighting the beauty of the underwater world.

Sales Launch and Pricing

The novelty is already available for pre-order in the Chinese market. The cost of the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Fish Tank 2 Pro during the pre-order period is 599 yuan (which is equivalent to approximately $80-85 USD at the current exchange rate). The official sales launch via the crowdfunding platform is scheduled for August 24, 2026. This makes the device one of the most affordable solutions in the class of smart aquariums with advanced filtration functions.

Contradictory Data

During the analysis of sources, a certain discrepancy in dates and context was identified. The main source (ixbt.com) reports a sales launch on August 24, 2026. However, the database contains mentions of other Xiaomi Mijia products (such as water heaters) with publication dates in 2025, which may create confusion in the chronology of the product line releases. Furthermore, some early leaks (Source ID 3) mentioned a price of "less than 5000 rubles" for previous versions, whereas the current price of 599 yuan is relevant specifically for the 2 Pro model. The XAB.info editorial team relies on official data regarding the launch specifically in August 2026, considering earlier news as referring to previous iterations of the product or other product categories.
