Customizing Aquariums

Water

Before placing fish in an aquarium, players may choose to fill the tank with either freshwater or saltwater. This will dictate which types of fish can be placed in the aquarium. Please be advised that, in order to change the water type, any fish in the tank must be removed. Freshwater and saltwater fish cannot be placed in an aquarium together.

Aquariums per Estate

Starting with patch 4.3, multiple aquariums are now allowed per estate regardless of aquarium size:

Estate Size	Max Aquariums
Private Chamber / Apartment	4
Cottage	6
House	8
Mansion	10

Aquarium Capacity

Fish have been categorized into four sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. Larger fish will occupy more space capacity in an aquarium, leaving less room for other fish. There is no difference between normal quality and high quality fish.

Fish Size	Space Capacity Occupied	Minimum Tank Tier
Small (S)	1	Tier 1 Aquarium
Medium (M)	2	Tier 2 Aquarium
Large (L)	4	Tier 3 Aquarium
Extra Large (XL)	7	Tier 4 Aquarium

Aquariums are available in four sizes, the smallest holding only a single small fish, and the largest holding up to four. Because larger fish take up more room in the aquarium, one must choose carefully which fish they will put on display. Any fish removed from the aquarium will be lost / destroyed.

Aquarium Tier	Max Capacity	Max Number Fish
Tier 1 Aquarium	1	1 Fish
Tier 2 Aquarium	2	2 Fish
Tier 3 Aquarium	4	3 Fish
Tier 4 Aquarium	7	4 Fish

• Example 1: The   Euphotic Pirarucu, an extra large fish, will only fit into a Tier 4 Aquarium.
• Example 2: You can only have a max of 4   Copperfishs (small fish) in a Tier 4 Aquarium despite the tank having 7 capacity.

Accessories
