Therefore, even if your fish don’t require plants and decor, fill up your tanks with them anyway to get the most out of them! Every single guest that views your individual tanks will contribute to adding up all of these points just once. Ecology research allows you to discover new livestock and science research allows you to unlock more or better equipment. Research adds yet another layer to your choice of fish and decor because all of them will have points that go toward “ecology”, “science”, both or neither. After a specific amount, you’ll “rank up” which will either give you access to those items right away or allow you to research them. This will unlock new facilities, tools, decorations, livestock, etc. Your prestige comes from happy guests and everything in your aquarium which is important to increase. Your individual fish will have a number of water quality and temperature minimum in order to survive. Just attach your equipment to pumps, adding more as needed in order to reach all your tanks. You’ll soon discover that your guests dislike seeing your heaters, chillers, filters and the like, and therefore you’ll need to hide all of it behind walls! This becomes really fun to place when you have access to pumps which can reach tanks from a distance rather than needing to connect your equipment right next to them.

The amount of equipment needed depends on the size you’re using (small, medium, large), as well as which fish and how many you plan to put in that tank. All tanks will require filters to enhance your water quality. Your fish will either be tropical or cold and need equipment for the tanks accordingly. You have control of where you want to place your tank and the size so have an idea of your aquarium layout and design when deciding on which tank to use. Some tanks will go deeper into the floor and others will be tall and need a platform with stairs so your staff can access them. All tanks are pre-built with where the window panes for viewing and the walls that are up for privacy will be. Different styles of tanks will be unlocked the further you play the main game which will mostly be for aesthetic purposes with the exception of the Kreisel tank which is the only one that can be used for jellyfish.
