The decoration is all the elements that contribute to create a pleasant and harmonious vision aquarium. These elements will allow equally to the fishes, delimiter their territory and to hide itself. The plants, who are living organisms, are not considered as a decoration element. On the other hand, the rocks and the roots constitute the principal decoration elements of an aquarium.

An aquarium is not really beautiful that if you place a panel bottom behind the ferry. You will find a big choice of panels bottom (landscapes complete aquatiques) and of structured panels in the specialists stores.
Before to begin to place the elements of decoration in your ferry, fill this one to half of lukewarm water (24° C about). At the time of this operation, avoid to move the bottom gravel. For this to do, it suffices to pour the water on a simple placed plate on the bottom or, what returns to the even, on the dish of the hand.
Before to place them in the aquarium, you must brush carefully under current water the elements decoration such that gravels of wash, rocks schisteuses or roots, in order to rid all traces of dust or of earth. Some objects (such roots) destined to be placed on the ground have totally to be impregnated water, in order to prevent them from to climb back up to the top of the water. One can equally the ancrer or the dul of rocks.

These effectuated preparations, you can leave free class to your imagination. The decoration enter for a lot in your landscape aquatique. The rule major, in any case, is to use only ridded objects of all calcaire and of all traces of harmful metals. Because of them harmful influence on the fishes, the 'coraux', the marble and the coquillages sailors are forbiden for the aquariums soft water.

Examples of aquariums agencement

It is advisable not to put too many decorative objects in the aquarium : the fishes need place to swim and sufficiently of possibilities of hiding place. Before beginning all plantation, leave to pass a day so the water of the l'aquarium can rest.

Some summarized : To fill to half the ferry with lukewarm water (24° C) while avoiding to stir the bottom. Before put for them, clean carefully all the decoration elements. To not abuse decorative objects. Leave to rest water aquarium during a entire day.

My counsels:
A fresh water aquarium is a reconstruction of the nature, and notably tropical rivers. Do not abuse the decorative elements (sold in the commerce) that have little of report with an aquarium soft water (imitations of columns of rocks, wreck boat ...,).
Watch to what each element that you introduce in the aquarium does not have any edges cutting that should to hurt the fishes.
