Types of decor
- Natural stones - lava, basalt, quartz. They create shelters and imitate rocks. Safe for fish (do not emit substances, do not change pH).
- Natural driftwood - mangrove, mopani. They create shelters and release tannins (some fish like this - discus, neons).
- Grottos and caves - plastic or ceramic shelters. Favorite by cichlids, catfish, and shrimp.
- Locks and figures - decorative, safe plastic with smooth edges
- Artificial plants - for those who do not want to mess with living ones. Silk ones are softer than plastic
- Living plants - anubias, cryptocorynes, vallisneria. Better for biobalance
- Backgrounds - adhesive films or 3D foam backgrounds
- Soil - quartz sand, marble chips, expanded clay. Nutritious soil for plants
What is important when choosing decor
- Safety - no sharp corners (the fish will get cut)
- Stability - place large stones on the bottom in front of the ground so that they do not move
- PH compatible - limestone rocks raise water hardness (not suitable for discus/neons)
- The size of the shelter must correspond to the size of the fish (large - large)
Lighting
Modern LED lamps (Tetra LED, JBL Solar LED) provide a full spectrum for plants and highlight the colors of fish. Lighting duration is 8-10 hours a day. Use a timer for automation. For planted aquariums - lamps 6500-8000K.
Frequently asked questions
Can decor be used for purposes other than aquariums? Stones and driftwood from the street - only after boiling and checking for no chemical release into the water. Figures from a toy store - no, may contain toxic paints.
How many plants do you need? The more, the more stable the ecosystem. Minimum - 30-40% of the bottom area for a normal nitrogen cycle.
How to clean the decor? Once every 1-2 months - with a soft brush under running water, without detergents. Heavily contaminated - soak in water with hydrogen peroxide for 1 hour.
