Aquarium is a great way to diversify the interior and make the apartment more comfortable and “warm”. Moreover, observation of the habits of the underwater inhabitants is an occupation, of course, pleasant and relaxing. However, those who want to start aquarium fish at home, it is worth knowing that the choice of a “home” for them is not as simple as it may seem to an inexperienced love fan.
What should be the form of the aquarium?
To date, in pet stores, you can most often see only three types of aquariums – square, corner and round. The last option looks very good. However, when buying it, you need to take into account the fact that a large number of fish in such a container will be extremely difficult to dilute. Underwater inhabitants simply do not have enough space. In addition, it will not be possible to install the filter in this case. It will not work and dilute a large number of plants. Round containers are most suitable for small and not too active fish. For example, you can settle here guppy.
Square options are used in modern apartments most often. Similar designs are installed along the wall, or used as an object dividing the room into zones. Such aquariums provide a much larger field for creativity in terms of choosing design and inhabitants. Corner options are good for small rooms. There is another form of capacity used in cases where there is absolutely no place in the room-aquarium-picture aquarium. They can be hung on the wall if desired. However, not all types of fish are able to live in such a container. This should be taken into account.
How to choose the size of the aquarium?
Containers, the volume of which does not exceed 25 liters, are considered small. 100 liters or more – this is already a large “home” and aquarium fish in such containers will feel very comfortable. Of course, the choice in this case depends primarily on the size of the room and the availability of free space in it. However, it should be taken into account that to care for large containers is much easier than small. Also, when choosing a size, it is worth being guided by what kind of fish the owners prefer the owners. For large or very mobile, you should choose a large “home”. For small and calm ones, there will be enough small.
How not to fail with quality?
The problem of leaks of just bought aquariums does not arise too often. But still, of course, it is impossible to exclude such a nuisance. To minimize the risk, you should agree with the seller in advance about the possibility of replacing. At home, you need to carefully examine all seams without exception immediately after water is poured into the container.
With a modern variety of aquarium assortment, it will not be too difficult to choose the most suitable option. The main criteria that should be taken into account when buying is the size of the room and the preferred type of fish.
