When first designing an aquarium, there are unlimited numbers of possibilities for design. Decorating an aquarium can be fun, but the decorations still have to be suitable for the fish. Fish feel more secure with more hiding places. If you have only a few decorations in the tank the fish will not feel secure and not swim around the tank as much. Finding a balance of a habitat the fish and you like is key for raising fish.

First, when designing an aquarium the essentials are needed such as lights, filters and heaters. A lid for your aquarium is vital for the fishes’ health. A lid protects them from outside dangers, and also can provide light. A lid is highly suggested for an aquarium hobbyist.

If you do not have a lid on your aquarium, then I suggest investing in one. A lid provides more security for the fish so that things do not get into the tank. Also a lid helps regulate the temperature in the tank. Most lids have lights and, which are very beneficial. If you can, invest in a lid with a light, most aquarium tanks come with a standard lid with a fluorescent light.

Plants are a key point for an aquarium. Either fake plants or real are suitable. Fake plants are a lot of less maintenance and will not get chewed up by hungry fish. If you have real plants a high florescent light is required for the plants to survive and grow. Make sure that your tank has enough plants so the fish can hide, but so that you can still see the tank.

Rocks, and fake caves and decor are also great for aquariums. A few hiding spots, for the fish to hide is good. When choosing rocks for the tank make sure they are suitable and do not dissolve or give off bad minerals to harm the fish.

Gravel or sand is vital for the fish to have a similar habitat that they are use to. The smaller the gravel is usually the harder it is to manage. The gravel that is too large can trap things including fish under it. I suggest a happy medium sized gravel. Sand is also great, especially if you own marine fish. If you have freshwater or even brackish water fish, I would suggest gravel instead of sand.

Bubblers are great for the tank to get oxygen for the fish, and also look cool. Place bubblers off to the side of the tank so that they do not disturb the fish that do not like the bubbles.
