Purchasing decor for your tank in your Pinery Residences condo is a very exciting experience; however, not all ornaments and designs are fish-safe. It may depend on the type of fish you have or what kind of decor you’re buying. Here are the 5 best fish-friendly decorations for your aquarium.
Live or Artificial Plants
Both come with benefits; live plants need oxygen to survive, but benefit the fish inside. If you want the visually appealing look of a plant but don’t have enough time to maintain it, artificial plants can be placed to make your tank stay as lively as possible. Additionally, plants that hang from the surface can add a touch of design!
Gravel and Rocks
Gravel and rocks are one of the best imitations of a fish’s natural habitat. Additionally, you can use colorful rocks for added decoration, or make caves where your fish can hide! Consider buying rocks with smooth edges to avoid damaging their scales. Don’t add too many rocks as they can affect the water.
Leaves
Leaves are a fun way of mimicking nature, and a cheap way too! Look around the neighborhood and find any leaf type that can enrich your tank’s livelihood. Like rocks, too many can lead to a negative effect on the water, so avoid putting too many!
Driftwood
Driftwood is a popular and suitable foundation for your aquarium. You can search online or a local fish shop for any eye-catching driftwood that can be pleasing to the eye. Or if you live near a river or lake, consider looking for them on the side. Try to find ones without sharp edges to avoid injury to your fish.
Ping Pong Ball
Although these float on the surface of water, fish still love playing with them! Purchasing a decoration and a toy can be beneficial to help keep them active. You can even set up a table tennis championship if you want.
