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.
Note: Freshwater and saltwater fish cannot be placed in an aquarium together.
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.
| Fish Size | Space Capacity Occupied |
|---|---|
| Small (S) | 1 |
| Medium (M) | 2 |
| Large (L) | 4 |
| Extra Large (XL) | 7 |
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 Fishes |
| Tier 3 Aquarium | 4 | 3 Fishes |
| Tier 4 Aquarium | 7 | 4 Fishes |
- 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
Accessories in the form of trimmings can be used to change the appearance of the water tank. Accessories will be destroyed when removed from the aquarium. Currently there are only two trimmings available:
