How to choose?

To choose the most suitable aquarium for a particular situation, there are several important aspects to consider. First of all, the purpose of the purchase is determined - whether the tank will contain only fish, insects or, for example, turtles. Some people purchase unusually shaped aquariums simply for decoration and place floral arrangements inside. Next, it’s better to think about where you can place the purchase. Since the 100 liter tank has outstanding dimensions, the amount of free space determines the shape of the purchase. Next, the amount that can be spent for this purpose is calculated, and then the available offers on the market are studied.

It is important to understand that the cost of aquariums with a volume of 100 liters is quite high. You can purchase the tank either complete or “naked”. As a result, the price will fluctuate from 1.5 to 7 thousand rubles.

Some exclusive models cost up to 50 thousand rubles. The company that produces the aquarium also plays an important role. The more famous the company, the more money you will have to pay.

The cost of a 100-liter aquarium can vary even depending on its shape. Rectangular containers are much easier to produce, which is why their prices are the lowest. Further increasing the price tag are followed by panoramic designs, and then corner models. The quality of the glass used and its thickness, as well as manufacturing technology, affect the cost. The most expensive are aquariums made using the one-piece casting method.

Where to install?

The aquarium must be placed in such a way that it is naturally lit, but not exposed to direct rays. The place should be reliable and stable, but still allow you to easily carry out general cleaning, change the water, or feed your pets. A good place is the side opposite the window opening. It will be good if there is a socket nearby for connecting existing equipment: a filter, a heater, a compressor and the same lamp.

For safety, the level of the sockets should be higher than the level of the aquarium itself, since water ingress can cause burnt electrical wiring.

Easy access to water is also a plus, as it greatly simplifies the water change procedure. You should not place the tank near a TV or computer, as fish do not react well to noise.

How many and what kind of fish can you keep?

The number of aquarium fish that can be placed in a tank depends on their species. Moreover, the exact figure is determined depending not only on the size of the creature, but also its character, as well as the degree of aggressiveness. For example, in 100 liters of water you can get 45 guppies or just one shark barb. The possible number of pink danios is 20, the same as the number of cardinals. Only 2 goldfish can live in an aquarium, but chocolate gouramis can accommodate as many as 18 individuals. Betta cockerels can fit as many as 32 pieces, and angelfish can only live alone. In general, it is recommended to check this information in the store where the aquarium inhabitants are purchased.

It is important to remember that the increased density of aquarium inhabitants, on the one hand, reduces aggression, but, on the other hand, helps to slow down the development of fish and stop spawning.

In addition, numerous diseases and outbreaks of infestations are likely. It is better to move all the pets into a 100-liter aquarium at the same time, since new neighbors almost always tolerate the aggression of the old-timers at first. In addition, when selecting fish, it is important to take into account not only their current size, but also the maximum dimensions that they can reach. Approximately for every centimeter of fish there should be 3 to 4 liters of water.

In a 100-liter aquarium you can accommodate inhabitants of all three layers of water - upper, middle and bottom. As a rule, at the top there are creatures whose mouths look upward, and in the middle layer live fish whose mouths are directed along the midline of the body. In the bottom layer you can place speckled catfish, the length of which does not exceed 6 centimeters. The active fish has a friendly character and is accustomed to living in a school.

When setting up an aquarium for catfish, it is imperative to place enough shelters and plants so that the creatures have the opportunity to hide and rest from their neighbors.

Another suitable animal is the golden catfish, which has similar characteristics but is more thermophilic, as well as the ancistrus catfish, the size of which is already between 12 and 15 centimeters. Experts recommend settling barbs in the middle layer, of several species. Alternatively, it could be a cherry barb, which grows up to 5 centimeters in length. When giving preference to this species, it is important to understand that they are considered rather shy creatures that live in a flock. You should definitely place at least 7 individuals in the aquarium with a predominant number of females, and also make sure that they do not have slow neighbors. The body size is about 5 centimeters. Another suitable variety is the five-striped barb.

Gourami can live a little higher - both one and several species. The marbled gourami is very calm and even slow. It should be housed either in a pair or in a flock of 5 to 7 individuals.

To prevent gourami from eating small fish, they will have to be housed only with creatures of a similar size - 11 centimeters long. Gourami require both open spaces and floating plants for nest construction, as well as ground shelters. Pearl gouramis are also suitable for an aquarium.

Guppies always perform well, especially since they are able to live in any layer of the aquarium. To begin with, it is better to choose the classic version, and then purchase more capricious individuals. Guppies are not recommended to live with predators or aggressive creatures.

In general, these fish are distinguished by their positive character and 6-centimeter body size.

The choice of aquarium inhabitants is carried out in such a way that there are matches in the requirements regarding water temperature and its composition. Warm-water and cold-water fish cannot live together. Inhabitants with different temperaments should live in different layers of the tank. If we talk not only about fish, but also about snails, then it makes sense to purchase Neretina for a 100-liter aquarium. Its size is only 2 centimeters, and its nutrition is based on algae, which keeps all plants safe. The latter can be absolutely anything, but give preference to reasonably unpretentious ferns, salvinia or hygrophila.

About design options

Today there is plenty to choose from underwater jewelry. The main thing is not to cross the line and not turn the bottom into a cluster of inharmonious objects. Improvising the remains of sunken ships or a mermaid with flowing hair is a matter of taste. But one thing is clear: the design of a 100 liter aquarium should be in the same style.

You can enhance the feeling of naturalness with:

multi-colored lighting, incl. coming from the side or below;
giving a feeling of neglect, for example, with the help of plants of brown-burgundy color;
special composition of glass, slightly opalescent under directional lighting;
creating the sensation of moving water (using sound, special pumps and pumps).

One of the tricks is the design of the back and (or) side walls. By sealing them with a special film, you can choose the landscape you like and use the greenery of the design when natural vegetation is missing.
