How a Fish Can Make Your Fish Tank Stand Out

Professionals and beginners alike all want their tanks to stand out. The aesthetic appeal of an aquarium is what draws so many people to become fish hobbyists in the first place, so it's no wonder everyone wants their tank to be as unique as themselves. If you're looking for a new way to get your fish tank to be as individual as you are, here's how a fish can make your fish tank stand out.

How Fish Make Your Tank Unique

With all of the beautiful and vibrant aquatic fish species in the world, many can help your tank stand out above the rest. The size, shape, and color of your tank all make it stand out, and your tank's inhabitants are no exception. That doesn't mean you can't own the classic Goldfish or Betta fish. Any tank size or type can house a fish that helps draw the eye and take it to the next level.

Freshwater Aquarium Fish

The Ranchu or Shubunkin Goldfish are some of the most beautiful and interesting-looking fish you can get for small to mid-size freshwater tanks. Crown Tail and Halfmoon Bettas have intricate detailing and color combinations that make them the crown jewel of almost any tank.

Despite its name, the Green Terror Cichlid is colorfully patterned and vibrant, with a unique head shape that makes it the envy of any large freshwater aquarium. The Roseline Torpedo Shark and Bala Shark have a sharp geometric look and are peaceful tank mates.

Saltwater Aquarium Fish

For small to medium-sized saltwater fish, you have many more tropical options like the Green Mandarin Goby or the Emperor Angelfish with incredibly beautiful marbled colorings. However, if you're looking for an interestingly shaped fish, the McCosker's Flasher Wrasse and the Banggai Cardinal have long, sharp fins that resemble crowing tendrils.

The Surgeonfish Tang is the winner for large tanks due to its color variations, with a favorite being the Sailfin Tang. Batfish are another incredible option, not necessarily because of their color (or lack thereof), but because of their unique shape that makes them look like sideways bats gliding in the water.
