An aquarium in the house can be called a kind of corner of peace - after all, what could be more peaceful than watching peacefully swimming fish?
If you are new to aquaristics, it will probably be useful to learn about the subtleties that sellers in pet stores prefer to keep silent about.
Don't clutter your aquarium
The interior space of the aquarium should not be overloaded with decorative elements (grottoes, labyrinths, caves, etc.) and plants.
Otherwise, the fish simply won't be able to move freely.
Put it in the right place
If you are unsure where to place your aquarium, we would advise you to avoid placing it near a window as this will affect the light level (some fish prefer moderate light) and temperature (the water may become hot or cold).
Additionally, direct sunlight can promote algae growth, which can degrade water quality.
Round aquariums – no
As for the shape of the aquarium, avoid using round containers. Such a shape distorts the space and causes stress to the fish.
And you won’t be able to see the pets swimming in a round aquarium as they really are.
