2.1.2 Different types of fish tanks
Aquarium can be made of materials like glass, concrete, wood, fiberglass acrylic sheet etc., depending on its location, cost and durability. Glass tank They are either all glass tanks or metal framed ones. In the metal (steel or iron) framed tanks glass panels are held in place with putty (battery compound). On the other hand in all glass tanks, glass walls are fitted together edge-to-edge using silicone rubber adhesive. Nowadays, all-glass tanks have completely vanished due to the popularity of metal-framed tanks, which are known for their slim appearance and suitability for keeping marine fishes also. Shape of aquarium tanks The shape of the aquarium tank may be circular, square, rectangular, oval, hexagonal or octagonal. However, rectangular tanks are preferred as they provide sufficient area for free swimming of the fishes. /font> |
