Do fish like ornaments in their tanks?

Fish do like ornaments in their tanks, as they give them places to hide and feel safe. Fish tank ornaments are a great way to make your fish feel more at home and less stressed. In the wild, wide open spaces mean fish are more vulnerable as prey, so ornaments in the tank can create a sense of security.

How many aquarium ornaments should you put in a fish tank?

You should put as many aquarium ornaments as it takes to provide adequate cover for your fish in a fish tank. A good rule of thumb is to fill 50% to 75% of the tank's floor space with ornaments for cover, leaving 25% as open, undecorated space. This does not mean your tank should be 75% full of ornaments, however, as fish still need plenty of space to swim around. Just choose a mix of both hard cover (things like aquarium decorative rocks and structures like castles) and soft cover (either real or artificial decorative plants) and arrange it until half to _ of the aquarium's bottom has something on it. This will help avoid overcrowding while giving your fish plenty of places to swim and hide.

Can you put any ornament in a fish tank?

You can usually put any ornament made specifically for aquariums in a fish tank. Avoid using household items that may not be safe for fish in your tank. Many of these items may have finishes or paints that are toxic to fish, or they may deteriorate when submerged in water for a long time. Even natural items like wood, shells, plants and rocks can introduce pathogens to your tank, so be careful about what you put in there with your fish. It is usually safest to use ornaments made specifically for fish tanks as decoration.

How do you clean fish tank ornaments?

Clean fish tank ornaments by putting them in a soap-free sink or tub with water and then using an aquarium sponge to wipe away algae. You can also use a small, soft brush or toothbrush to get into crevices and hard-to-reach spots. Then, rinse the decorations thoroughly and return them to your aquarium. For tough algae on ornaments, you can soak them in a dilute solution of 5% bleach, or 2 gallons of water with 4 teaspoons of bleach mixed into it. Be sure to rinse any bleached ornaments very thoroughly or soak them in water for 5 minutes to remove bleach residue that can harm your fish. Some experts recommend letting ornaments dry before returning them to the tank after a bleach bath, just to be extra safe.
